Abstract
An electrical component for surface mounting, such as a DC-DC power converter includes a body portion including one or more surface mounting pins to connect the body portion to a circuit board, and first and second circuit boards including respective circuit elements mounted thereon. The first and second circuit boards are mounted on the body portion, such that sides of the first and second circuit board on which the circuits are mounted face the interior of the device and the reverse sides of the first and second circuit boards define an exterior surface of the component. In this way, no separate housing for the component is required. The size of the electrical component can therefore be kept small, and protection provided to the circuit elements by the reverse side of the circuit board.
