Abstract
A connector frame for use in the connection of electrical circuit assemblies having pins integrally connected therewith. The connector frame is a body of electrically non-conductive, thermally conductive material having one or more apertures bored through the body, said apertures being through-plated with an electrically-conductive material having a lower melting point than any of the surrounding materials. Said body also includes at least one separate aperture in which is disposed an electrically-conductive, heat-generating wire, said wire having the capacity to generate sufficient heat to melt the electrically-conductive material disposed in the apertures to form a strong electrical and mechanical bond between the pins of the electrical circuit assemblies.
