Abstract
A self leaded header for surface mounting of a circuit element to a PC board comprises a generally box-like support body having a cavity for mounting a circuit element, the support body having a base and a plurality of feet extending downward from the base for supporting the same on a PC board, a plurality of lead support members having a generally spool configuration extending generally horizontally outward from the support body adjacent the base, an inductance coil mounted in the cavity, and a lead extending from the coil to and wound multiple turns around each of the lead support members and disposed for surface bonding to a PC board.
