Abstract
Abstract In a contact device having at least first and second contact surfaces which may be placed in electrically conducting contact with one another, that improvement which includes a solder-repellent and self-lubricating casing material applied to at least one of said contact surfaces. The solder-repellent contact surface also serves as a stop-off when soldering component leads to terminals of a printed circuit board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A method for the manufacture of a printed circuit board having electrical components mounted thereupon by being mechanically soldered to lands adjacent through holes provided in said printed circuit board, said lands being electrically interconnected to conductive tracks, said printed circuit board also being provided on a designated surface thereof with at least a first electrically exposed and corrosion-resistant contact surface for controlling the operation of said printed circuit board, said method of manufacture comprising the steps of: (a) applying a solder-repellant but electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant and self-lubricating coating to said at least one contact surface; (b) inserting said electrical components into said lands, and (c) thereafter, exposing said designated surface and said solder-repellant coating to solder to mechanically and electrically connect said electrical components to said lands.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
128 words
A method for the manufacture of a printed circuit board having electrical components mounted thereupon by being mechanically soldered to lands adjacent through holes provided in said printed circuit board, said lands being electrically interconnected to conductive tracks, said printed circuit board also being provided on a designated surface thereof with at least a first electrically exposed and corrosion-resistant contact surface for controlling the operation of said printed circuit board, said method of manufacture comprising the steps of: (a) applying a solder-repellant but electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant and self-lubricating coating to said at least one contact surface; (b) inserting said electrical components into said lands, and (c) thereafter, exposing said designated surface and said solder-repellant coating to solder to mechanically and electrically connect said electrical components to said lands.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the initial step of applying an electrically insulating and solder-repellant substance to all of said designated surface with the exception of said lands and said contact surfaces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said solder-repellant but electrically conductive coating comprises a graphite lacquer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
A printed circuit board manufactured according to the method of claim 1.
