Electric or opto-electric component with a packaging of plastic and a method for varying the impedance of a terminal lead of the component by attaching a dielectric plate to at least one terminal lead

A method for varying impedance of a terminal lead of an electric or opto-electric component using a dielectric plate, said method comprising:

• providing a component with a plastic packaging and an integrated circuit arranged in the packaging and several terminal leads protruding from the packaging for connection of the circuit;
• and
• attaching an individual dielectric plate to at least one of the terminal leads, said dielectric plate being configured to adjust the varying impedance of the terminal lead on a lead by lead basis.
