An electrical component (21) for mechanical mounting and electrical connection with respect to plated through holes (34) of a printed circuit board (20) compatibly with a surface mount attaching process includes an electrically non-conducting body (30), plural generally elongate contacts (31) extending from the body for insertion into such plated through holes (34), and the component (21) having a strip of solder type material (33) for melting, for flow into respective plated through holes, and for re-solidifying mechanically and electrically to couple the component to such printed circuit board. The strip preferably encircles the contacts and has reduced cross section portions between adjacent contacts. Preferably the component is a connector, such as a header, and the contact pins or leads thereof provide an interface connection between the printed circuit board and a separate or portable connector. A method for attaching such an electrical component (21) to a printed circuit board (20) compatibly with surface mount attaching processes and apparatus (70; 98; 99; 102; 114, 126) to carry out such method, and a method for making the component with solder (33) coupled to such electrical component.

An LED light engine includes a flexible electrical cable and a plurality of LEDs. The flexible electrical cable includes first, second and third electrical conductors and an electrically insulating covering for the electrical conductors. The conductors are arranged substantially parallel with one another having an insulating material therebetween. A first LED including a first lead electrically connects to the first electrical conductor and a second lead of the first LED electrically connects to the second conductor. A second LED includes a first lead electrically connected to the second electrical conductor and a second lead electrically connected to the third electrical conductor. A third LED includes first and second leads electrically connected to the second conductor. The third LED is interposed between the first LED and the second LED.

A cable termination assembly including a multiconductor ribbon cable of the woven or Teflon insulation type includes loop connection portions for respective conductors with a stiffening insert located in respective loops, the loops being coupled to contacts via a printed circuit board interface for connecting the cable conductors to an external member, and a strain relief system including a rigid bar-like member directly molded or otherwise affixed to the cable and to which a housing portion of the cable termination assembly may grab in order to transmit force between the cable and housing without applying forces to the connections of the loops and the circuit board and/or contacts to which such loops are connected.
