In a microelectronic package, a first wire bond wire is coupled to an upper surface of a substrate. A first bond mass is coupled to another end of the first wire bond wire. A second wire bond wire is coupled to the upper surface. A second bond mass is coupled to another end of the second wire bond wire. The first and second wire bond wires laterally jut out horizontally away from the upper surface of the substrate for at least a distance of approximately 2 to 3 times a diameter of both the first wire bond wire and the second wire bond wire. The first wire bond wire and the second wire bond wire are horizontal for the distance with respect to being co-planar with the upper surface within +/−10 degrees.
