An electrical connection comprises a first conductor and a second conductor electrically connected to the first conductor. The first conductor has a first contact section with a first contact face laterally delimited by a first side face. The second conductor has a second contact section with a second contact face surrounded by a rim having a second side face. The second side face limits a contact space above the second contact face and the first contact face is arranged on the second contact face. A reservoir space is arranged between the first side face of the first contact face and the second side face of the rim, the reservoir space surrounds the first contact face and a sealing material is arranged in the reservoir space. The sealing material forms a sealing ring that seals an interface between the first contact face and the second contact face.

A method for manufacturing a connection body capable of suppressing deformation of a connector having a terminal array with a narrow pitch and obtaining excellent insulation and conductivity, and the connection body. The method includes: a step of fixing, on a first terminal array of a substrate, via a thermosetting connection material containing solder particles, a connector having a second terminal array having a minimum inter-terminal distance of 0.8 mm or less in the first terminal array and the second terminal array inside a bonding surface to be bonded with the substrate, and a step of joining the first terminal array and the second terminal array without a load by using a reflow furnace set to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the solder particles.

[Object] To provide a contact that can hold down effects caused by solder, even if an elastic contacting portion is extending from a location contacting a first member. [Solving means] The contact includes a base portion, an elastic contacting portion and a gap forming portion. The base portion is configured solderable on a component mounting surface of the first member. The elastic contacting portion is configured elastically deformable and relatively swingable with respect to the base portion, and when contacting a contacted surface of the second member, is configured to elastically deform to be in pressurized contact with the contacted surface. In the gap forming portion, a concave portion is provided between a first end portion and a second end portion, and is configured to have a gap between the concave portion and the component mounting surface when the base portion is soldered on the component mounting surface in a state in which the concave portion and the component mounting surface are oriented in directions facing each other.

Described herein is an apparatus that includes a housing that defines an interior cavity. The housing also includes a feedthrough aperture. The apparatus also includes an electrical connector that is coupled to the housing over the feedthrough aperture. The electrical connector includes a base, a plurality of pins extending through the base, and a skirt positioned about a periphery of the base. The pins extend from a location external to the housing to a location within the interior cavity of the housing. Further, an inner surface of the base is co-planar with an outer end of the feedthrough aperture. The apparatus also includes solder positioned on the housing and against an entire periphery of the skirt to seal the electrical connector to the housing.

A glazing panel comprising an electrical connector with a shield element to avoid a wicking effect, where the connector is an electrically conductive connector connected to an electrically conductive structure such as a heatable coating or an antenna. The glazing panel is particularly suitable for an automobile glazing.

The present disclosure relates to components, such as base bodies, for feed-through elements including a metallic base body, at least one through-opening for receiving a functional element in a fixing material, such as an electrically insulating fixing material, and at least one conductor, which is connected electrically conductively to the base body by a soldered connection. The soldered connection includes a metallic solder material that covers a surface region of the base body and thus forms a soldering region on a surface of the base body. The base body has, at least in the soldering region, a microstructuring that includes at least depressions in the surface of the base body. The present disclosure similarly relates to methods for producing such base bodies and to applications thereof.

A surface mount connector in which an internal terminal does not extend to a location outside an external terminal is provided. A surface mount connector includes an external terminal that includes a tubular portion that extends in a first direction, an internal terminal that is separated from the external terminal inside the tubular portion when viewed in the first direction, and an insulator that is disposed between the internal terminal and the external terminal and that has a first main surface and a second main surface opposite the first main surface. The insulator inside the tubular portion has a through-hole that extends from the first main surface to the second main surface.
