Abstract:
A connectorized resistor network comprising:a ceramic substrate having a first side;conductive traces carried by the substrate;conductive pads mounted to the substrate and connected to the conductive traces;solder paste connected to the conductive pads, the solder paste comprising a material having a first melting point;a resistor network carried by the substrate connected to the conductive pads, the resistor network comprising thick-film resistors screend onto the first side of the substrate; anda plurality of discrete conductive spheres comprising a material having a second melting point greater than the first melting point of the solder paste, the solder paste being re-flowed to bond the conductive spheres to the conductive pads, thereby forming a plurality of electrical contact leads extending from the first side of the substrate, whereby the resistor network may be selectively connected to electrical circuitry mounted on a separate substrate.
