ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection device of the type comprising a folded configuration of resilient material adapted to ensure elastic retention and a coating of malleable material to be soldered or brazed adapted to be melted to ensure electrical connection. The coating of malleable material (3) is substantially recessed within said resilient material (1), by being disposed in a groove (3) provided within said resilient material (1). The groove (2) has an inner surface and two flared edges (2b,2c). At least one of the edges (2b2c) of the groove (2) is outside the resilient bearing plane (P), such that the malleable material (3) will be separated from the bearing plane (P) by a predetermined distance (d). The folded configuration of resilient material and the malleable material (3) are cut out to form clips, the resilient material (1) is not to extend laterally beyond the cut-out clips (12). The non-clip portions of the device are in the form of a strip having a laddered configuration with guide positioning holes (8, 9) for an automatic insertion of electrical contacts along one side of a hybrid circuit or of a printed circuit or the like. When the malleable material (3) is melted, it flows by capillarity and solidifies to form electrical contacts (17, 19) that do not extend substantially beyond the clips (12).
