ABSTRACT:
A component and method are provided for making a soldered electrical connection between two mating members, in which a deposit of solder on the surface of one of the members is juxtaposed to a cooperatively shaped surface on the other member when the two members are mated, so that the solder will melt and bind the two surfaces when heated. The quality of this connection may be further improved by providing a resilient arrangement for urging the conforming surfaces together as heat is applied. In one form of contact element according to the invention a hollow, cylindrical metal shell with a longitudinal split provides a resilient fit into a mating member, such as a metal-lined hole on a printed circuit board. The shell is provided with a deposit of solder in a groove on its outer surface where the shell is to engage the metal lining of the hole.
