Abstract:
A surface-mount semiconductor package comprises a semiconductor which is embedded within a plastic material body. Electrical control connections to the semiconductor package include first and second pads which are spaced apart from each other, making it easier to couple the devices in parallel. Power output is provided by metal pads. The pads may be partially sheared, to step them, thereby allowing a single thickness lead frame to be used in the manufacture of the device. On the lower face of the body there are channels which increase the electrical tracking distance and allow improved washing of residues after the device has been secured to a substrate.

Abstract:
An electronic part is tacked to a circuit board, leads of the electronic part being made into contact with cream solder built up on the circuit board, and thereafter, the circuit board is heated up so as to melt the cream solder in order to solder the electronic part to the circuit board. In this procedure, the melting temperature of a hardener in the tacking bond, that is, the hardening temperature of the tacking bond, is higher than that of the cream solder, thereby making it possible to prevent hindrance to sinking of the lead terminal of the electronic part into the melted cream solder.

The connector further consists of a positioning block (15) from insulating material, which is provided with holes into which the connecting pins (21, 22) of the electrical component (25) can be inserted. Grooves (16, 17) in which the contact strips lie are provided in the side faces, adjacent to the holes, of the positioning block and have a depth which is greater than the minimum distance between the wall of a hole and the adjacent side face of the positioning block. A clamping spring (37) which presses the contact strips (5) towards each other is provided.
Abstract:
A surface-mount power resistor may be fabricated using a power resistor of conventional design as its core. A conventional resistor is reworked so as to flatten its leads from a point near their emergence from the generally tubular body of the resistor to the ends of the leads. The reworked resistor is then encapsulated from a point on the flattened portion of one lead to a corresponding point on the other lead, with the resulting mold being shaped as to have at least two opposing flat surfaces. The ribbon-shaped portions of the leads which exit from the molded body are then shaped as desired to afford the finished product. Similar surface-mount electrical components may be fabricated for any component with axial leads.
