Abstract
A surface-mounted component includes an external contact, and components that are arranged in proximity to each other and that contain terminals. The external contact is connected to the terminals by spot welds. The external contact defines a contact surface on an assembly area of the surface-mounted component. The external contact also has an area that is free of spot welds.
