  • Patent number: 3953102
    Abstract: A conductive sheet-metal clip, to be soldered onto a chip of integrated circuitry, has two prongs interconnected at a base which forms a seat for an edge of the chip fitted between these prongs, one prong being rigid while the other is weakened near the base so as to be resiliently deformable in the plane of the clip. One prong has a pair of projections engaging the chip at two points, near its free end and near the base, whereas the other prong has a projection bearing upon the chip at a point about midway between the first two points. A terminal tab extends from the base in the region of the rigid prong.
