Surface-Mountable Apparatus

Abstract

A surface-mountable device (100) is specified, comprising a mounting side (101), a top side (102) lying opposite the mounting side (101), an electrically insulating carrier plate (1), an electrical component (2) and a housing (3). The carrier plate (1) terminates the device (100) toward the mounting side (101). Furthermore, the carrier plate (1) has a fixing side (103) lying opposite the mounting side (101). For the purpose of making electrical contact with the component (2), the carrier plate (1) has conductor tracks (4) arranged on the fixing side (103), contact areas (5) arranged on the mounting side (101), and openings (6), wherein in each case a contact area (5) is electrically conductively connected to a conductor track (4) by means of an opening (6). The component (2) is enclosed by the housing (3), wherein at least one opening (6) is arranged below the component (2). The housing (3) and the carrier plate (1) are arranged flush with one another in a plan view of the carrier plate (1). Furthermore, the housing (3) terminates the device (100) toward the top side (102).
