An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of power contact pairs. The insulative housing has a main section, a mating section extending forwardly from the main section, and a plurality of contact-receiving passageways extending along a front-and-back direction. The power contact pairs are mounted in the corresponding contact-receiving passageways of the insulative housing and divided into two opposite rows in a height direction according to contacting portions, and each power contact pair has two power contacts, each power contact defines a flaky retaining portion held in the relative contact-receiving passageway, a number of contacting portions extending forwards from the retaining portion and a soldering portion extending from a rear end of the retaining portion. The contacting portions of two power contacts in each power contact pair are arranged alternately and cyclically.

The invention relates to a press-in pin (10) for an electrical contacting assembly (1), having an elastic press-in region (12) and an electrically conductive coating (14). The invention further relates to a corresponding contacting assembly (1), and to a method for joining a press-in pin (10) and a metallized via (7). The coating (14) comprises a reactive multi-layer applied to the press-in pin (10) and a first contact layer applied to the reactive multi-layer.

The present invention relates to an electrical bridging device comprising two electrical conductors which are electrically isolated from each other and arranged such that two surface regions of both conductors are separated from each other by a gap. The two surface regions are each covered with a layer composed of an electrically conductive material which has a lower melting point than the electrodes. A reactive layer in which an exothermic reaction can be triggered is arranged above the two layers. The gap between the two surface regions is selected and the reactive layer is dimensioned and arranged such that the two layers which are composed of the electrically conductive material fuse at the gap due to the thermal energy which is emitted during the exothermic reaction of the reactive layer and consequently an electrical connection is created between the electrical conductors.

A method for producing a soldered connection between at least two components is provided, in which the components are heated for melting a solder in a soldering area. The heating of the soldering area and/or the supply of solder to the soldering area is realized depending on the temperature which is determined by non-contact detection of heat radiation emitted from at least one temperature measurement zone of one of the components. In order to improve the method such that the emissivity of the at least one temperature measurement zone can be increased with high process reliability and with at most a slight adverse effect on the electrical connection between the electrical components, it is proposed that the at least one temperature measurement zone be locally heated for increasing its emissivity. Furthermore, an electrical plug-in connector for producing a soldered connection and use of such a plug-in connector are proposed.
