An assembly and method of making same are provided. The assembly can include a first component including a dielectric region having an exposed surface, a conductive pad at the surface defined by a conductive element having at least a portion extending in an oscillating or spiral path along the surface, and a an electrically conductive bonding material joined to the conductive pad and bridging an exposed portion of the dielectric surface between adjacent segments. The conductive pad can permit electrical interconnection of the first component with a second component having a terminal joined to the pad through the electrically conductive bonding material. The path of the conductive element may or may not overlap or cross itself.
