Abstract
A method for correctly positioning a metallic plate supporting a semiconductor chip in a mold used for encapsulation, wherein according to a first solution, at least a pair of retractable locating pins are utilized together with a lead connected to the supporting plate. The ends of the locating pins are retracted in the final phase of encapsulation, from the surfaces of the plate, whereas in the initial phase they are in direct contact with the surfaces. According to a second solution, a pair of clamping pins are indirectly connected to the plate through the interposition of insulating thicknessings.
