Holster for a radio pager

Radio pager

A method and an apparatus provide a surface mountable package (100) with leads (150) having free end portions (355) coplanar in a target plane (370). The method includes forming the leads (150) such that the free end portions (355) angle away from the target plane (370), and biasing the free end portions (355) against a biasing surface (365) integral to the package (100) such that the free end portions (355) are forced toward the target plane (370) and into a coplanar state. The apparatus includes a housing (110), a plurality of leads (150) with free end portions (355) preformed to angle away from the target plane (370) mounted onto the housing (110), and a biasing surface (365), located on the package (100), to bias the free end portions (355) toward the target plane (370).

Briefly, according to the invention, a compression seal between two surfaces is provided by a body portion (212) conforming between the two surfaces (110 and 130). A first (211) and second (311) rim are connected to a perimeter of the body portion (212). For providing a seal between the two surfaces when the two surfaces are compressed against each other, the second rim is connected to the first rim at an angle (216) between 0 and 180 degrees.
