There is a trend in the electronics industry towards a preference for components that can be surface mounted on a carrier, such as a circuit board. By using surface mountable leads on a component together with a &ldquo;Single-In-Line&rdquo; technique it is possible to surface mount a component (,) upstanding on a circuit board (,) with the component leads surface mounted on the board. The leads (,) may be bent at their bottom extremities and provided with feet (,) for effective contact with the board. Guide and support pins may be used to hold the component in position during mounting and connecting the component and to brace the leads on the component when mounted on the board.

Arrangement for mounting a component upstanding on a carrier with surface mounted leads

There is a trend in the electronics industry towards a preference for components that can be surface mounted on a carrier, such as a circuit board. By using surface mountable leads on a component together with a 'Single-In-Line' technique it is possible to surface mount a component (5) upstanding on a circuit board (7) with the component leads surface mounted on the board. The leads (8) may be bent at their bottom extremities and provided with feet (10) for effective contact with the board. Guide and support pins may be used to hold the component in position during mounting and connecting the component and to brace the leads on the component when mounted on the board.
