  • ELECTRICAL COMPONENT HAVING PRE-SOLDERED SURFACE WITH FLUX RESERVOIRS
    Publication number: 20180161905
    Abstract: A pre-soldered pre-fluxed electrical component or connector, which can protect the flux from wearing off the surface of solder during shipping and handling. The electrical component can include a terminal pad. A layer of solder can be on the terminal pad. The layer of solder can have a surface with a series of generally equally spaced apart flux wells formed in the surface of the solder for protectively storing and retaining flux therein. The flux wells can have a lateral dimension of at least 0.05 mm and a depth of at least 0.023 mm that is deep enough for retaining a quantity of flux therein when flux on the surface of the layer of solder wears off during shipping and/or handling.
    Type: Application
