ABSTRACT:
The lead of a T03 style transistor extends through a hole in a printed circuit board. A resilient connector is provided for connecting the transistor lead to a printed circuit conductor in a manner to allow dip soldering but avoiding stress on the lead which might break the glass seal on the transistor package. The connector is a spring clip having a U-shaped portion with a pair of aligned holes in the legs to grip the transistor lead, one of the legs extending into another U-shaped portion which resiliently engages the circuit board conductor when assembled to the transistor lead. The connections are secured by dip soldering to complete the assembly.
