An electrical connector (10) includes a housing (11) that defines a solder element receiving channel (20). A solder element (24) is disposed within the channel (20), and a conductive pin (28) is mounted in the housing (11) to pass through the channel (20) and the solder element (24). The channel (20) defines a loading axis (22) angled with respect to the pin (28), and the channel (20) is shaped to receive the solder element (24) along the loading axis (22) and positively to retain the solder element (24) from movement along the pin (28). The pin (28) prevents the solder element (24) from moving along the loading axis (22) out of the channel (20). Several methods for assembling such electrical connectors (10; 10) are described, and in these methods the solder element (24) is moved along the loading axis (22) into the channel (20) within the housing (11), and then the pin (28) is moved into the housing (11) through the pin receiving aperture (16) and through the solder element (24) in order to stake the solder element (24) in place and prevent it from moving out of the channel (20) along the loading axis (22). |
