Abstract:
An electronic assembly (200) includes a substrate (10) and at least one surface mounted electronic component (14). The substrate (10) includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side of the substrate (10) includes a plurality of conductive traces formed thereon. The plurality of conductive traces includes a first conductive trace (18A) and a second conductive trace (18B). The electronic component (14) is electrically coupled between the first and second conductive traces (18A,18B). A component body of the electronic component (14) is subject to interaction with a flux, which is utilized during electrical coupling of the electronic component (14) to the first and second conductive traces (18A,18B), to form a current leakage path. The substrate (10) is configured to prevent the formation of the current leakage path.
