Abstract:
1. A component for insertion within a via located in a substrate, comprising: a passive electrical device having first and second ends and an outer diameter; a first solderable terminal having an outer diameter, the first solderable terminal being mechanically and electrically coupled to the first end of the passive electrical device; and a second solderable terminal having an outer diameter, the second solderable terminal being mechanically and electrically coupled to the second end of the passive electrical device; and a non-conductive collar disposed at least partially around and partially along a length of at least one of the passive electrical device, the first solderable terminal, and the second solderable terminal, wherein the collar has an outer diameter that is greater than each of the outer diameters of the passive electrical device, the first solderable terminal, and the second solderable terminal, and wherein the passive electrical device is one of a resistor, a capacitor, a diode or an inductor.
