Electronic device adaptive to mounting on a printed wiring board

Abstract

An electronic device adaptive to mounting on a printed wiring board, which has outer leads that are not subject to be deformed by external force, which helps improve positioning precision when it is mounted, and which can be transported at a reduced cost. A plurality of conductor leads connected to an electronic circuit provided in the electronic device extend along a peripheral surface of the package, and at least the ends of the conductor leads are fixed to the peripheral surface of the package to constitute input/output terminals of the electronic circuit. Preferably, the conductor leads are formed on a flexible film, bent along the peripheral surface of the package together with the film and are fixed to a bottom surface of the package via the film. Preferably, furthermore, a film in the form of a tape is employed, and a plurality of packages are arranged and supported on the film while maintaining a predetermined distance between one another.
