ABSTRACT:
A connector for substrates such as smart cards has a housing containing two parallel rows of spring contacts, each of which is held in a respective channel of the housing. Integral with each of the spring contacts and extending outside of one end of the housing is a terminal lead for connection to a substrate. The lead has a solder mass adjacent its end. The two parallel rows of solder-bearing leads will straddle and resiliently hold a substrate between them to improve accuracy in soldering during solder re-flow. The other end of the housing is provided with entry apertures for pins of a multi-pin connector, so that each pin will enter a respective housing channel to contact the spring contact therein. The entry apertures may accommodate a substrate with contact pads.
