Planar contact with solder

1. A method of fixing reflowable elements on electrical contacts, the method comprising:

providing a strip including a plurality of electrical contacts, each contact including a contact body and a tail portion extending away from the contact body;

disposing each tail portion of the plurality of electrical contacts adjacent an elongate reflowable member;

moving the elongate reflowable member with respect to the contacts, such that at least a part of each tail portion is inserted into the reflowable member;

cutting the elongate reflowable member into a plurality of separate reflowable elements, each reflowable element corresponding to a respective tail portion; and

separating the electrical contacts from the strip.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the tail portions includes a first leg and a second leg,

wherein the first and second legs are disposed on opposite sides of a central opening of the tail portion, and

wherein each leg includes a narrow connection section and a foot that is wider than the narrow connection section.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the tail portions includes:

an arrowhead shape, and

a narrow connection portion disposed between the arrowhead shape and the contact body.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

bringing each of the electrical contacts adjacent to a respective corresponding contact of a device; and

adhering each electrical contact to the corresponding contact of the device,

wherein the adhering is accomplished by:

elevating an ambient temperature to a temperature that is greater than a melting point of each of the reflowable elements, but less than a melting point of the electrical contacts, and less than a melting point of the contacts of the device.
