Patent number: 7553204Abstract: An electrical connector includes a hollow conductive post member having a circular periphery, a foot portion and a distal end. The distal end has a generally cup shaped indentation. A base member is included having top and bottom surfaces. The foot portion of the post member is mounted to the top surface. At least one standoff extends from the bottom surface of the base member. The at least one standoff is for resting against a contact surface when soldering the electrical connector to the contact surface, thereby separating the bottom surface from the contact surface to define a minimum volume therebetween for occupation by solder.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Antaya Technologies CorporationInventors: John Pereira, Manuel Machado, Stephen Antaya

Patent number: 7296347Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a generally planar base pad having two opposed legs and an intermediate portion. The base pad legs have proximal and distal ends and are joined at the proximal ends to the intermediate portion. The legs are spaced apart from each other to form a gap between the legs. The base pad legs have inner edges facing each other which extend away from each other moving away from the proximal ends of the base pad legs to the distal ends. A connector arm having a neck extends upwardly from the intermediate portion of the base pad between the base pad legs and terminates in a blade connector for engaging with a mating terminal. The neck has a proximal end with a width that is less than the gap between the proximal ends of the base pad legs by about ½ mm to 3 mm. The neck has a narrowing section moving away from the proximal end of the neck.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2004Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Antaya Technologies CorporationInventors: Stephen Antaya, Manuel Machado
