    Abstract: A surface-mountable component is disclosed. The surface-mountable component may include a substrate having a side surface and a top surface that is perpendicular to the side surface. The component may include an element layer formed on the top surface of the substrate. The element layer may include a thin-film element and a contact pad electrically connected with the thin-film element. The contact pad may extend to the side surface of the substrate. The component may include a terminal that is electrically connected with the contact pad at a connection area. The connection area may be parallel with the top surface of the substrate. The terminal may have a visible edge surface that is approximately aligned with the side surface of the substrate. The visible edge surface may be visible for inspection when the surface-mountable component is mounted to a mounting surface.

    Abstract: A surface-mountable thin-film fuse component is disclosed that may include a substrate having a top surface, a first end, and a second end that is spaced apart from the first end in a longitudinal direction. The thin-film component may include a fuse layer formed over the top surface of the substrate. The fuse layer may include a thin-film fuse track. An external terminal may be disposed along the first end of the substrate and electrically connected with the thin-film fuse track. The external terminal may include a compliant layer comprising a conductive polymeric composition.
