A METHOD OF INTERCONNECTING CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS LOCATED ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF AN INSULATING BASE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: COATING SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS WITH A FLUXING AGENT HAVING INSULATING CHARACTERISTICS, INSERTING A DEFORMABLE CONDUCTIVE MEMBER HAVING A FUSIBLE METAL COATING THEREON INTO AN APERTURE FORMED THROUGH THE CONDUCTIVE MEMBER ABOUT AT LEAST ONE BASE, DEFORMING SAID CONDUCTIVE MEMBER ABOUT AT LEAST ONE OF SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS WITH A RAM AND AN ANVIL, EACH HAVING A CONTACT SURFACE LARGER THAN THE DIAMETER OF SAID CONDUCTIVE MEMBER TO MECHANICALLY INTERCONNECT SAID ELEMENTS, AND DIRECTING A PLUSE OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT THROUGH SAID RAM, SAID DEFORMED CONDUCTIVE MEMBER, AND SAID ANVIL, WHILE SAID FLUXING AGENT MAINTAINS ELECTRICAL INSULATION BETWEEN THE CONTACT SURFACES OF SAID RAM AND ANVIL AND SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS TO THEREBY PASS SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF SAID CURRENT THROUGH SAID MEMBER TO MELT SAID METAL COATING ON SAID MEMBER TO FORM AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN SAID CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS AND SAID MEMBER.
