Method and apparatus for securing an electrically conductive interconnect through a metallic substrate

摘要

A method and module for securing a conductive interconnect (30) through a metallic substrate (36). The method includes the steps of: forming a hole (34) in the metallic substrate (36), the hole (34) defined by an internal surface (46) of the metallic substrate (36); applying an electrically insulating layer (48) to the metallic substrate (36) including the internal surface (46); applying a solderable coating (50) to at least a portion of the electrically insulating layer (48) around the hole (34); applying a solder (52) to at least a portion of the solderable coating (50) at and above the hole (34); inserting the conductive interconnect (30) through the hole (34); and solder bonding the conductive interconnect (30) within the hole (34).
