Abstract:
1. An electronic component comprising: a semiconductor power device comprising at least one first load electrode, at least one control electrode and at least one second load electrode; surface mountable outer contact surfaces, wherein the outer contact surfaces are positioned in a contact plane, the contact plane having a component axis of rotation positioned generally perpendicular to the contact plane, and an electrically conductive rewiring structure, the rewiring structure electrically connecting the first load electrode, the control electrode and the second load electrode to the outer contact surfaces, wherein the outer contact surfaces have an arrangement defining a component pad layout so that the electronic component is mountable on landing pads of a substrate, the landing pads having a defined landing pad layout, in a first orientation about said axis providing a component performance during operation and is mountable in a selected rotational reorientation about said axis, the selected rotational orientation being an angle other than 360°, on said landing pads having said defined landing pad layout without an alteration in said component performance during operation due to said rotational reorientation.
