Patent ID: 7829791

Claim:
A device for electrically connecting first and second electrical components each component having at least one electrical contact, the device comprising: a carrier for receiving the first and second electrical components, the carrier having a plurality of compartments; at least one of the compartments being adjacent to the at least one contact of the first electrical component when received in the carrier; at least one of the compartments being adjacent to the at least one contact of the second electrical component when received in the carrier; a plurality of solder constructions, each disposed in a respective one of the compartments in the carrier for engagement with a confronting contact of respective electrical components and electrical connection to the electrical components received in the carrier; each of the solder constructions having a conductive wire and a solder component adjacent the conductive wire, such that upon reflow of the solder constructions, the at least one contact of the first electrical component is electrically connected to the at least one contact of the second electrical component, wherein the solder construction includes a plurality of solder components in the form of solder wires disposed around a circumference of the conductive wire.
