Abstract
A substrate includes electrically-conductive tracks. A semiconductor chip is arranged on the substrate and electrically coupled to selected ones of the electrically-conductive tracks. Containment structures are provided at selected locations on the electrically-conductive tracks, where the containment structures have respective perimeter walls defining respective cavities. Each cavity is configured to accommodate a base portion of a pin holder. These pin holders are soldered to the electrically-conductive tracks within the cavities defined by the containment structures. Each containment structure may be formed by a ring of resist material configured to receive solder and maintain the pin holders in a desired alignment position.
