Claim:
1. A surface mount device comprising: a core device; a contiguous, first conductive layer disposed on a first surface of the core device and a contiguous, second conductive layer disposed on a second surface of the core device opposite the first surface, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer separate from one another; a first conductive coating covering a first end of the core device and in direct contact with the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; a second conductive coating covering a second end of the core device opposite the first end and in direct contact with the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the second conductive coating separate from the first conductive coating; an encapsulant surrounding at least a portion of the core device and the first and second conductive coatings, wherein the encapsulant corresponds to a cured version of a liquid epoxy and has an oxygen permeability of less than approximately 0.4 cm3·mm/m2·atm·day.
