unsoldered
Lacking metal bond
Unsoldered describes something that has not been joined with solder—the metal alloy melted to bond electronic components or metal pieces.
A connection might be unsoldered because it was never soldered in the first place, or because the solder was removed: The wire came loose from the unsoldered joint.
In electronics repair, technicians unsolder components to replace them.
