ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a surface-mounted component's contact having an inverted "T"-shaped soldering portion. The contact is to be mounted to the surface of a printed circuit board, and is to be electrically connected to a conductor on the printed circuit board by soldering its soldering portion to the conductor. The soldering portion comprises a flat foot and a leg, which is integrally connected to and rising from the midportion of said foot. The relatively large foot has an effect of causing substantial reduction of the load per unit of solder upon application of an undesired force to the terminal, and of increasing the resistivity of the solder against removal from the conductor of the printed circuit board.
