Abstract

A one piece electrical connector includes a base pad having a substantially round perimeter as well as top and bottom surfaces. A layer of solder covers the bottom surface of the base pad. An arm integral with the base pad is bent from the perimeter of the base pad. The arm extends over the top surface of the base pad and terminates in a terminal. The arm has a first portion bent to lie on the top surface of the base pad and a second portion extending from the first portion and bent to extend away from the base pad. The arm may be gripped by a rotatable chuck for spin soldering the base pad to pad to a glass substrate.
