Abstract
An improved mounting system for surface mounted components is described. The mounting system of the present invention provides preparations for surface mounted components and the printed circuit substrate which render the resultant assembly highly resistant to stresses which occur due to thermal cycling. The printed circuit substrate is conditioned by removing selected areas of media surrounding the points of attachment between the surface mounted component and the printed circuit media. In addition, a spacing element is disposed between the surface mounted component and the printed circuit media to promote the formation of a virtual lead during assembly.
