ABSTRACT:
A circuit board component, specifically a capacitor, which is configured to be machine-insertable into apertures of a circuit board to make a solderless electrical connection to electrical conductors positioned on and in the circuit board. The component is a cylindrical element which has portions of its outer surface affixed with an electrically conductive material which material is formed with a plurality of serrations. The serrations are designed to cut through and to make a force fit, gas tight, seal with the walled portions and the electrical conductors of a circuit board. The electrically conductive material also either forms a part of the component, such as capacitor plates and/or provides a contact surface for the connecting of an internally-mounted electrical component. An indexing means positioned on one end of the cylindrical element provides a mechanical indexing to insure the correct orientation of the component with regard to corresponding electrical contacts on the circuit board. A flange member extending from one end of the cylindrical element provides a stop in order to insure proper alignment of the component when the component is inserted into a circuit board by automatic means.
