A CONNECTION PIN, A CONVERTER ASSEMBLY AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CONNECTION PIN

摘要

A connection pin (1) comprising a first contact part (13) that is adapted for mounting in a hole in a printed circuit board, PCB,and a second contact part (15). The first contact part comprises a cavity (17) surrounded by a wall (19), and the wall has at least one opening (21). At least one solder preform (25) is located in the cavity (17).A converter assembly comprising a first PCB (20), and having at least one hole (31) in which a connection pin (1) is mounted. The first PCB with the connection pin is then mounted on a second PCB (30). Further is described a method for manufacturing a connection pin comprising: providing a connection pin with a cavity in a contact part of the pin, and providing at least one opening in a wall of the cavity (S1), preparing at least one solder preform (S2), and inserting at least one solder preform into said cavity (S3).
