Abstract
A lead attachment for a ceramic chip capacitor characterized by a metallic strip lead having at one end two pre-formed L-shaped tabs, perpendicular relative to said metal lead strip, the distance between the arms of said tabs being less than the width of said chip, and said strip having a longitudinal slot running from said tabs partially down its length; each tab having an arm positioned inwardly relative to the longitudinal axis of said lead strip such that said tabs mechanically grip in a spring-like manner, facilitated by the slot, the end of a metalized, pretinned ceramic chip capacitor positioned between said tabs, and thereafter said lead tabs further secured by heating the assembly, thus forming a uniform electrical connection between said chip capacitor and said tab portion of said lead.
