ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal for an electrical component to surface mount the component on a printed circuit board with the component extending upright from the printed circuit board. The electrical terminal includes a metal strip having a pair of spaced tabs extending in the same direction from the metal strip to form an U-shaped clip within which the electrical component fits. A separate foot extends from each tab with the feet being aligned in the same plane and extending in opposite directions from the tabs. The feet are adapted to seat on the surface of a printed circuit board to support the electrical component in the upright position on the board. A plurality of the terminals are mounted in spaced relation along an edge of the electrical component and can be soldered to terminal pads on the electrical component to electrically and mechanically connect the terminals to the electrical component.
