Abstract
An electronic component adapted for surface mounting on a PC board has an elongate bobbin made of a dielectric material. A coil of wire is wound about the winding support surface of the bobbin. The coil has a pair of lead terminations which are wrapped around a pair of T-shaped lead termination support members extending from the same side of the bobbin. When the bobbin rests on top of a PC board, the support members position the wrapped lead terminations slightly above solder pads.
Claims17
An electronic component adapted for surface mounting, comprising:
- an elongated bobbin made of a dielectric material and having a winding support surface, a pair of shoulders at opposite ends of the winding support surface, the shoulders having lower co-planar surfaces defining a sitting plane and for supporting the bobbin on a surface of a PC board;
- a coil of wire wound about the winding support surface of the bobbin and having a pair of lead terminations;
- and
- a pair of lead termination support members each extending from the bobbin and one of the lead terminations wrapped therearound, the support members positioning the wrapped lead terminations about 0.001 to about 0.003 inches above the sitting plane.
An electronic component adapted for surface mounting, comprising:
- an elongated bobbin made of a dielectric material and having a winding support surface, a spool configuration with peripheral shoulders at opposite ends of the support surface, the shoulders having lower surfaces disposed in a common sitting plane and adapted to support the bobbin on a surface of a PC board;
- a coil of wire wound about the winding support surface of the bobbin and having a pair of lead terminations;
- and
- a pair of lead termination support members each extending from a shoulder of the bobbin and one of the lead terminations wrapped around each of the termination support members, the support members positioning the wrapped lead terminations at about 0.001 to about 0.003 inches above the sitting plane.
