Abstract
Hollow lead connection elements are placed in through holes in a one-side printed circuit board and are reflow soldered to the conductors with SMD devices on the conductor side of the board. Components are positioned on the conductor side with their leads passed through the connection elements. The leads are wave soldered to the elements on the side of the board opposite the conductors. The elements may have spring-loaded tongues for securing the leads thereto prior to soldering and a flange on the conductor side of the board.
