Abstract
A mounting device and method are provided for mounting of large discrete electronic components such as transformers on a surface mount circuit board. A carrier board is provided with small tabs extending laterally outwardly therefrom and the lead wires from the component are wrapped around the tabs. Corresponding solder pads are provided in the main circuit board so as to coincide with the tabs. The solder on the pads is flowed to secure the carrier to the main board in good electrical and mechanical contact.
