Abstract
A crimp contact and method for terminating discrete electrical conductor wires with a printed circuit board includes a crimp contact A having a crimp barrel (10) in which wire (16) is crimped. A solder post (24) extends from a widened circular flange (22) which is integral with the crimp barrel. Spacer block (20) spaces circular flange (22) above plated through hole (32) so that a space is provided which may be completely filled with solder. A pair of quarter round seating sections (28 and 30) are formed on opposing surfaces (24a and 24c) of solder post (24). The remaining periphery of solder post is open at (42) to facilitate upward and complete flow of the solder.
