Abstract

A solder ball terminal includes a body portion, a spherical socket disposed at one end of the body portion, the spherical socket including an interior wall terminating in an annular lip, wherein the annular lip defines an opening of the spherical socket and a solder ball disposed within the socket such that a portion of the solder ball extends through the opening and beyond the annular lip.
