Abstract: A novel electrical connection device for surface-mounting on a circuit board. The electrical connection device includes at least two terminal members. Each terminal member includes a retaining surface serving as a point of electrical contact between the terminal member and the circuit board and as a point of solder-anchoring for securely mounting the electrical connection device to the PCB. Further, each terminal member includes a contact portion providing for the mounting of an electrical component onto the circuit board, as well as serving as a point of electrical contact between the circuit board and the electrical component. The terminal members are mounted on a strip of insulating material that holds them in the proper spacial relationship until they have been secured to the circuit board. The strip reduces pin-misalignment that can cause difficulties in engaging a mating electrical component on the electrical connection device.
