Daan,
        Check out http://www.interplexnas.com/index.asp, they make the
clip-on leads that are in your picture. They come preloaded with solder
and flux, so they just slide on the substrate edge and can be reflowed
at the same time as your SMT components on your mini-board....

Subject: [TN] Replacing a DIP package


Hi Technet,

http://www.parallax.com/images/prod_jpg/bs2p24-ic.jpg is a picture of a
tiny pcb assembly that can be wavesoldered onto a motherboard almost
like a normal through-hole package.  Due to an obsolescense problem we
are thinking about replacing a 22-pins DIP-package by a construction
similar to what's in the picture. Does anyone know what technology to
use to get the sidepins connected to the substrate, and does this fit
within a normal PCB Assembly process? Also any  ideas about alternative
solution are more then welcome.

Best regards!
