Abstract:
1. A surface mount contact for coupling to an electronic device comprising: a conductive pin having an elongated body including a first end and a second end; a heat re-flowable bonding member coupled to the first end; and a conductive substrate disposed around the conductive pin between the first and second ends and adjacent the heat re-flowable bonding member, wherein the substrate is a collar that radially protrudes from the pin and has an opening through which the pin extends and a surface thereof that is adjacent the heat re-flowable bonding member is conductive, wherein the second end of the pin has a head formed thereat for placement against a conductive surface and wherein the dimensions of the head are either substantially equal to dimensions of the conductive substrate or the dimensions of the head are greater than the dimensions of the conductive substrate.
