Abstract
An improved solder column, having a solder core comprising a solder core material, an exoskeleton sleeve structure surrounding at least a majority of an outside surface of the solder core and comprising a plurality of wires woven together to form a mesh, and a plurality of spaces formed in the exoskeleton between the plurality of wires. The exoskeleton sleeve can be configured such that the exoskeleton sleeve will support the solder core so as to prevent a collapse of the solder core at temperatures exceeding a liquidus temperature of the solder core. Optionally, each of the plurality of spaces can have a width and a height that is at least as large as a width of the wire adjacent to the space, and the spaces can be configured to provide additional flexibility to the solder column.
