Abstract
A flexible printed circuit board has conductors on opposite sides thereof which are through-contacted by die-punching the board to form an angularly-displaced tongue portion about which solder is flowed to contact both conductors. A terminal pin is optionally inserted through the board to connect a component, the pin being engaged by the angularly-displaced tongue to ensure reliable mechanical and electrical contact in the soldered joint. The through-contact is formed with a bevel-faced die in conjunction with a cutting plate.
