The component (10) has a part made of electrically conductive material and including extended pins (12) for traversing a non-metallised through hole of a printed circuit board. A flat expanded plate (11) extends perpendicularly to the pins and has a rectangular form. The component is U shaped and the expanded plate forms the base of the component. The expanded plate is symmetrically extended by the pins. An independent claim is also included for a process for realizing an electric connection between two conductive tracks disposed on two respective sides of a printed circuit board.
