How do U think small electronic components are held to a PCB? The electrical connections of the small components certainly aren't mechanically connected to the PCB before going thru the wave soldering machine so in essence, the solder is securing them to the PCB as well as making the electrical connections.

Well not really. A properly preped and inserted component will make a good mechinical connection. Good enough that the board can be turned over without unsoldered components falling out of the PCB. At least thats how parts are preped and placed in our board house before they are soldered (hand or wave soldered).

I am sure many low cost, low quality, consumer grade electronics assembly houses do not do it this well.
