Abstract
A self leaded holder 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 lead support members having a generally spool configuration extending generally horizontally outward from the support body adjacent the base, lead ports extending from the cavity through the sides, an inductance coil mounted in the cavity, and a lead extending from the coil via the lead ports to and wound a partial turn around each of the lead support members and disposed for surface bonding to a PC board.

A self leaded holder for surface mounting of a circuit element to a PC board, comprising:
- a unitary support body having a cavity for supporting a circuit element and for mounting said circuit element on a PC board, said body having a top and a base, the base terminating in a base place;
- a lead support member integral with and extending outward from each side of said support body adjacent said base and positioned for supporting a lead in a common plane spaced below said base plane for surface engagement and bonding to a PC board;
- a lead and vent passage in a side of said body;
- a circuit element mounted in said support body;
- and
- a terminal end of a lead wire extending from said circuit element via said passage and wound at least partially around said lead support member and having a portion disposed at said common plane parallel to and below said base plane for engagement and surface bonding to a PC board.
A self leaded holder for surface mounting of a circuit element to a PC board, comprising:
- a generally box-like unitary support body having a cavity for receiving a circuit element and for mounting said circuit element on a PC board, said body having a top and a base, the base having a bottom surface defining a base plane;
- a lead support member integral with and extending outward from opposite sides of said support body adjacent said base for supporting a lead in a common plane parallel to said base plane;
- said body having stepped sides intersecting said cavity and forming a lead and vent passage in opposite sides of said body;
- a circuit element mounted in said support body;
- and
- a terminal end of a lead wire extending from said circuit element via said passage and wound at least partially around said lead support member and having an elongated portion disposed at said base in said common plane for engagement with and surface bonding to a PC board.
A self leaded holder for surface mounting of a circuit element to a PC board, comprising:
- a generally box-like unitary support body having stepped sides and a generally cylindrical cavity for receiving a circuit element for mounting said circuit element on a PC board, said body having a top and a base, the base terminating in a base plane;
- a lead support member integral with and extending outward from opposite sides of said support body parallel to and adjacent said base plane and having a generally spool-like configuration with a lead receiving groove formed therein for supporting a lead in a common plane parallel to and adjacent said base plane for surface bonding to a PC board;
- a lead and vent port formed in each of a pair of opposite stepped sides of said body by extension of said cylindrical cavity through said base and stepped sides;
- an inductance coil mounted in said cavity;
- and
- a terminal end of a lead wire extending from said circuit element via said port and wound at least partially around each of said lead support members and having an elongated portion disposed at said base for engagement with and surface bonding to a PC board.
