Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A surface mount component comprising:
an electrically insulating beam that is thermally conductive, the electrically insulating beam having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end, the electrically insulating beam further having a pair of side surfaces extending between the first end and the second end; and
a thin-film component formed on the electrically insulating beam, the thin-film component comprising a resistive layer and a frequency compensating conductive layer formed over the resistive layer, the thin-film component further comprising a first terminal and a second terminal formed adjacent the first end of the electrically insulating beam, the resistive layer connected between the first terminal and the second terminal,
wherein the thin-film component has an area power capacity of greater than 2 W/mm2 at about 28 GHz,
wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are offset from each of the first end and the pair of side surfaces of the electrically insulating beam,
wherein the first terminal and the second terminal share a centerline extending parallel to the first end of the electrically insulating beam, the centerline offset from the first end of the electrically insulating beam by a thin-film terminal offset distance,
wherein the surface mount component has an overall length from the first end to the second end of the electrically insulating beam, and
wherein a ratio of the overall length to the thin-film terminal offset distance is about 2 or greater.
