Abstract
A printed circuit board device comprises bar-like connectors made of a metal material and having a predetermined length and a predetermined width. Each bar-like connector has a plating of a highly electrically conductive, anti-corrosion metal coated over the side surface(s) thereof but not the end surfaces. Each bar-like connector may be more smooth on the side surface(s) than on the end surfaces. Each bar-like connector is fixedly connected at both ends by an electrically conductive bonding agent to a pair of lands on a printed circuit board, respectively, to provide electrical conduction between the two lands. Accordingly, connection faults caused by the Manhattan phenomenon are eliminated and the cost of SMT production is reduced.
