Abstract
A printed circuit board includes a circuit trace and a connector pad. The connector pad provides electrical and mechanical mounting of a connector lead of a surface mount device and provides a circuit path between the surface mount device and the circuit trace. The connector pad includes 1) a connector pad base electrically coupled to the circuit trace, and 2) a first connector pad island electrically isolated from the connector pad base. The connector pad base has a length that is substantially equal to a length of a contact portion of the connector lead.
