Abstract
A novel tubular chip component for holding a probe for examination having a rectangularly parallelepipedic cross section and made of a metal having a solderable outer surface and a not solderable inner surface is disclosed. At least one side of said outer surface of the metal plate is used for anchoring the chip component and the anchoring side is formed by layering a metal plate thereon. A chip component of the present utility design is advantageous in that it can be detected by means of a light sensing element regardless of the direction of the light shed from a light source, that it can be produced with an enhanced workability, a low profile and a low cost and that the terminal of a probe can be securely held without being affected by the soldering operations that may take place during manufacturing the chip.
Claims8
An automatic mounting chip component comprising at least one metal sheet each having one surface which is solderable and other surface which is not solderable, said metal sheet being arranged to form a cylindrical body of a rectangular cross section in such a manner that said one solderable surface lies inside thereof, at least one of the outer surface portions of said cylindrical body being formed as an anchoring surface which is formed of the superimposed metal sheet portions.
An automatic mounting chip component comprising at least one metal sheet each having one surface which is solderable and other surface which is not solderable, said metal sheet being arranged to form a cylindrical body of a rectangular cross section in such a manner that said other non-solderable surface lies inside thereof, the upper surface of the outer surface portions of said cylindrical body being formed as an anchoring surface which is formed of the flat portion of two superimposed metal sheet portions.
