Abstract
A surface mount component (for example, an electrical connector) includes a connector body portion and a plurality of temperature-activated self-extending surface mount attachment structures (TASESMAS). During a reflow solder process, amounts of solder within the connector melt. Surface and interfacial tensions of structures within the connector cause the TASESMAS structures to extend away from the connector body portion and toward an object (for example, a printed circuit board) to which the surface mount component is to be surface mount soldered. Each TASESMAS may self-extend a different amount to accommodate nonplanarities in the surface to which the component is to be surface mounted. When the component cools after reflow soldering, the amounts of solder solidify thereby fixing the TASESMAS structures in their extended positions.
