Surface-mount network device

A surface-mount network device having a mounting surface which is to be mounted on a mounting substrate, said device comprising:

• an insulating substrate having at least one main surface which is substantially perpendicular to said mounting surface, at least one conductor formed on said main surface and at least one passive element formed on said main surface;
• a plurality of lead terminals which sandwich said insulating substrate, said plurality of lead terminals each having a grip portion for gripping said insulating substrate, an end portion adapted to be connected to said mounting substrate, and a middle portion between said grip portion and said end portion;
• terminal connection conductors which are formed on an end of said main surface of said insulating substrate opposite from said mounting surface, said terminal connection conductors connecting said grip portion of said lead terminals and said conductor and said passive element;
• and
• sealing means for covering said insulating substrate and at least connecting portions between said terminal connection conductors and said grip portion of said lead terminals,
• said end portions of said lead terminals being bent into the plane of said mounting surface, and
• said middle portions of said lead terminals extending away from said main surface of said insulating substrate, passing through said sealing means, bending outwards beyond said sealing means at about half way down said insulating substrate, and thereafter bending downwards along said main surface.
