ABSTRACT:
A printed circuit board includes a pair of mounting openings for a connector member comprising a strip of electrically conducting material having a pair of oppositely oriented concave legs joined in a convex head. Each of the legs has an end abutting the circuit board and a narrower foot extending through one of the openings and soldered to the printed circuit on the opposite side of the board in a wave soldering process. The spacing of the mounting openings is less than that of the ends of the legs of the unbiased connector member so that the latter must be pinched closed to be mounted on the board and is positively retained thereon until soldered. The spacing also maintains the concave legs of the mounted connector member in contact with each other at their point of closest approach for controlled retention of a mating connecting member shaft but separated at the ends so that no molten solder wicks therebetween by capillary action in the wave soldering process. At least one of the convex head and the circuit board midway between the mounting openings is provided with an access opening for the mating connector member shaft, which opening contains no solder.
