A B S T R A C T It is known to solder electronic components to printed circuit boards but this makes subsequent component removal difficult. It is also known to use spring-loaded retaining sockets but these tend to form inferior electrical connections. The present invention provides a method of making connections which comprises bringing a plurality of reversibly-temperature- actuatable devices attached to a carrier into contact with the substrate, fixing the contact devices to the substrate, raising or lowering the temper- ature of the contact devices to cause them to release the carrier and then bringing a plurality of members into contact with the plurality of contact devices and raising or lowering the temperature of the contact devices to cause them to grip the members. The "reversibly-temperature-actuatable contact device" is one which will adopt a first configuration at a first temperature (released position) and a second configuration at a second temperature (gripping position).
