  • solder joints for attaching a thin pin to a surface substantially at right angles.
  • the pin is provided with a substantially planar end face, which is butt soldered to the surface.
  • the disadvantage of this is that the pens in question, due to the mass production, have no flat faces, and therefore a corresponding processing step is required before the solder joint can be made. Furthermore, such a solder joint tends to shear off the pins, and has the disadvantage of low vibration resistance.
  • This is particularly disadvantageous when using correspondingly processed assemblies in vehicles disadvantage, since this can lead to increased failure rates.
  • This has a particularly disadvantageous effect when used in safety-relevant devices, such as an igniter for an airbag, whose function must be ensured, in particular, at high accelerations occurring.
  • solder joints in which the production of a flat surface according to the preceding paragraph is dispensed with.
  • a first such known solder joint is provided to blunt the rounded ends of a contact pin to a surface.
