Abstract
A component for surface mounting is fixed by means of adhesive to a surface of a member. For improving the adhesion, the fixable surface of the component includes a structure which makes it possible, first, for this fixable surface to lie flush against the surface of the member. Second, the structure of the fixable surface also makes it possible for a quantity of adhesive adequate for fixing to remain between the fixable surface of the component and the surface of the member.
Claims9
A component for surface mounting on a member, the component having a housing of arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of legs, comprising in combination:
- a member having a surface;
- a component having a component housing;
- an adhesive compound between said surface and said component housing;
- a fixable surface on said component housing fixed with said adhesive to said surface of said member, said fixable surface of said component housing including a single cavity and including portions of said fixable surface lying flush on said surface of said member, said single cavity of said flexible surface enabling a quantity of said adhesive adequate for fixing said component housing to said member to remain between said fixable surface of said component housing and said surface of said member.
A component for surface mounting on a surface of a member, comprising in combination:
- a member having a surface on which a component is to be mounted;
- a component including means for establishing a defined position of said component relative to said surface of said member, said means including a fixable surface of said component, with portions of said fixable surface resting on said surface of said member to establish said defined position, said portions defining a single cavity therebetween;
- and
- an adhesive between said component and said surface of said member, said adhesive being in said single cavity.
A method for fastening a component for surface mounting, the component having arbitrary dimensions and having an arbitrary number of terminal legs, fixable surface of the component for fixing to a surface of a member by means of an adhesive, wherein the fixable surface of said component is structured such for improving adhesion, comprising:
- planarly applying a quantity of adhesive to the surface of the member;
- placing portions of the fixable surface of the component flush on the surface of the member;
- and enabling a quantity of adhesive adequate for fixing to remain between the fixable surface of the component and the surface of the member in a single cavity in said fixable surface.
