the tiniest invisible particles in soot and exhaust that can cause the most harm. In the 1990’s Harvard researchers calculated that as many as 70,000 Americans die prematurely every year from tiny particle pollution, mostly from diesel engines and coal-fired power plants.

And now the New England Journal of Medicine has published a study out of the University of Washington of 66,000 postmenopausal women that indicates the death rate may be even higher. In some of America’s cities with the dirtiest air, such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and the Los Angeles basin, this latest study indicates the risk of death from cardio-vascular disease for those women is close to that of active smokers.

The present invention relates to a mounting component, an electronic device, and a mounting method.

A reflow method in which solder applied onto a pad of a conductor pattern is melted to electrically and mechanically connect a mounting component to the pad is widely adopted as a method for mounting the mounting component onto the conductor pattern such as a printed board. In mounting the mounting component by the reflow method, usually an electrode of the mounting component is positioned in the center of the pad of the conductor pattern by a surface tension of the melted solder.
On the other hand, because an external force acts on the mounting component such as a switch and a connector in use, the mounting component cannot be fixed
