<p>A solder-bearing lead (10) for attachment to the surface of a substrate (39), wherein a discrete mass of solder (24) is mechanically held firmly by the lead (10) in a position permitting close proximity to the substrate surface to connect the lead (10) to the substrate (39) with an electrical and mechanical bond upon melting of the solder (24), the lead body having a pair of fingers (22) partially encircling the solder mass (24) with a gap (32) between the fingers (22) providing an unobstructed flow for the melted solder to the substrate. The lead may also be used to interconnect a first substrate (39) to a second substrate (44), forming a bond between conductive areas (45, 46) on both substrates.</p> |
