ABSTRACT:
A component unit (40) is provided for connecting a circuit component (42) such as a chip resistor to a pair of contacts (22A, 22B) of a connector, in a simple, robust, and low-cost manner. The component unit includes a chip component in the form of a block with opposite end portions forming terminals, and a pair of clips (44, 46) that each has a chip-engaging part (52) soldered to a component terminal and a pin-engaging part (50) that can be slid over a pin portion of a connector contact. The chip-engaging part of each clip includes three walls (80, 82, 84) forming a channel that closely receives an end portion of the chip and that is soldered thereto. A connector insulator (26) has a surface (118) with a recess (120) that closely receives the chip component and the side walls (82, 84) of each clip channel.
