A double sided edge clip terminal for forming soldered connections with opposed contact pads on the edge of a substrate includes a pair of solder contacts each having spaced metal arms and cold extruded solder masses in the interior of the contacts between the arms. Openings are formed in the contacts between the arms to prevent wicking of molten solder along the terminal and away from the contact pads. The terminals are manufactured by extruding the solder masses through the openings and into the space between the arms and beyond the arms, without solder waste. |
