ABSTRACT:
A method of providing such an intercoupling component includes positioning terminals within holes of an insulative support member and attaching a solder ball to each of the terminals. Attaching the solder ball to the terminals is accomplished using a fixture having a number of recesses located in a pattern corresponding to a pattern of the holes in the insulative support member; filling each of the recesses with a solder ball; positioning the insulative support member over the fixture so that an end of each of the terminals contacts a corresponding solder ball; soldering the solder ball to the end of the terminal while maintaining the generally spherical shape of the solder ball; and removing the insulative support member from the fixture. The solder balls are generally soldered by passing the insulative support member with terminals and fixture with solder balls through a reflow apparatus.
