An electrical component (21) for mechanical mounting and electrical connection with respect to plated through holes (34) of a printed circuit board (20) compatibly with a surface mount attaching process includes an electrically non-conducting body (30), plural generally elongate contacts (31) extending from the body for insertion into such plated through holes (34), and the component (21) having a reservoir (32) for retaining solder type material (33) for melting, for flow into respective plated through holes, and for re-solidifying mechanically and electrically to couple the component to such printed circuit board. Preferably the component is a connector, such as a header, and the contact pins or leads thereof provide an interface connection between the printed circuit board and a separate or portable connector. A method for attacking such an electrical component (21) to a printed circuit board (20) compatibly with surface mount attaching processes, a method for placing solder (33) in the reservoirs (32) of such electrical component, and apparatus (70; 98, 99, 102; 114, 126) to carry out such methods also are part of the invention. |
