ABSTRACT:
A solder-bearing lead having a C-clip to resiliently grip the upper and lower surfaces of a substrate. One of the two arms forming the "C" is solder-bearing for mechanical and electrical connection to a conductive area on the substrate. In one embodiment, a polymer plug may be provided on the second arm, the plug having a narrowed neck region for improved retention by the second arm. In another embodiment, the second arm is coated with a non-conductive material, eliminating the need for mechanically retaining a plug or other insulator between the second arm and substrate. The coating on the lead is provided preferably by applying a liquid polymer to the second arm of the lead and hardening the polymer to form a durable, insulating coating.
