Abstract
Electrical component (10), comprising at least one pin (14) provided to be soldered on a PCB surface (60) using Surface Mount Technology (SMT). A mobile part (36) is movably mounted on the pin. The mobile part is adapted, when the component is brought next to said surface in order to be fastened and soldered thereon, to abut against said surface and to move with respect to said pin, so as to adopt a position wherein it bridges a gap (D) between the pin and the surface to allow soldering of the pin on the surface. Accordingly, even if the surface is warped, or the solder end portion the pin is not positioned in the desired location, a reliable soldering of the pin can be achieved.
