Abstract:
An electronic package (10) is provided which includes a circuit board (12) having a substrate (14) and circuitry (16) and a surface mount device (22) having a contact terminal (24). A mounting pad (28) is formed on the circuit board (12). The electronic package (10) also includes a solder joint (30) connecting the contact terminal (24) of the surface mount device (22) to the mounting pad (28) on the circuit board (12). The solder joint (30) includes a reflowable solder and a plurality of stand-off members (32 or 42). The stand-off members (32 or 42) provide a separation distance (H) between the circuit board (12) and surface mount device (22) in the range of about 0.01 mm to 0.10 mm.
Abstract:
An electronic component arrangement (10) includes a discrete electronic component (12) having first and second terminals (20, 22) and a centre-exposed pad (29). A substrate (14) has a first electrical conductor (32) electrically connected to the first terminal, a second electrical conductor (34) electrically connected to the second terminal, and a third electrical conductor (31). A thermally conductive element (26) is in direct thermal communication with both said centre-exposed pad of said electronic component and said third electrical conductor of said substrate.
