ABSTRACT:
An electrical component mounting system includes a substantially rigid substrate supporting a flexible circuit having a contact terminal with at least one aperture to receive a connecting pin from an electrical component. The aperture has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the component conductor pin, such that extending the pin through the aperture in the flexible circuit deforms the contact terminal into an aligned larger diameter aperture in the substrate to provide a secure electrical connection between the pin and the terminal of the flexible circuit. In one embodiment of the invention, the conductive pin includes a locking groove for lockably engaging the rigid substrate.
