Abstract (en)

A sprung terminal for mounting on a printed circuit board to provide a electrically conductive path between the printed circuit board and separate components is described. The sprung terminal 1 has a base strip 3 and a contact strip 5 extending from a fold region and defining a gap 43 between the strips 3,5. Side flaps 13,15 integrally formed from the same sheet as the sprung terminal impede access to the gap 43. A solder well 7 and a gap 77 minimise solder wicking. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
