Abstract

A lead arrangement is provided having a number of leads to be mechanically and electrically connected to a substrate. Retaining means are also provided integral with the lead arrangement to hold the substrate against the leads, as during soldering. The retaining means may be disengaged from the substrate separately or simultaneously with the trimming of the leads from the lead arrangement after connecting to the substrate.
