I-channel surface-mount connector
First Claim
1. A surface mount connector for electrically connecting two circuit devices comprising:
- a cylindrical metallic body of I-shaped cross section, the body comprising a longitudinally extending central beam section having as each longitudinally extending edge a laterally extending base section, the beam section comprising a pair of major surfaces, and each base section having a mounting surface perpendicular to the central beam section for bonding to a circuit device.

Abstract
In accordance with the invention, a low impedance surface-mount connector comprises a length of cylindrical rod having an I-shaped cross section. The device permits interconnection by pick-and-place techniques, and the interconnection has advantageous qualities of low resistance, low inductance, mechanical compliance and ease of manufacture. A first circuit device having one or more circuit components is interconnected with a second circuit device by surface mounting such connectors on the first circuit device, providing corresponding solder pads on the second circuit device, and mounting the connectors of the first circuit device onto the pads of the second.
