Abstract
A flat multiconductor jumper cable comprises a plurality of elongate substantially parallel and transversely spaced conductors surrounded by a casing of insulation. At one or both ends of the jumper cable, exposed portions of the conductors are formed in a curved clipped portion for solder connection to an integrated circuit substrate. The conductors are preferably formed of a soft non-resilient material such as copper and the clip portion is provided to have a substantially circular cross-section. The clip portion, formed in a generally U-shaped configuration defines a pocket for receipt therein of the edge of a substrate having conductive pads on opposing surfaces. Upon soldering the clip portion to the conductive pads, solder fillets are formed in such a manner as to provide an enhanced electrical and mechanical joint.
