A solder-bearing lead adapted to be soldered to a conductive surface comprising an elongated body portion having a solder-bearing portion, a terminal portion, and a middle portion disposed between said solder-bearing portion and said terminal portion. The solder-bearing portion includes a pair of projections extending from one edge of said body portion and forming a gap therebetween dimensioned to receive a solder mass. A region of the middle portion is twisted so that the projections lie in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the terminal portion. The solder-bearing lead can be used as an edge clip for mounting a substrate such as a printed circuit board/or as a surface-mounted lead for a substrate. |
