Abstract:
1. An axially-mountable device comprising: (a) a semiconductor chip comprising lower and upper electrical contacts; (b) a lower die pad electrically and mechanically connected to the lower electrical contact of the chip; (c) an upper die pad electrically and mechanically connected to the upper electrical contact of the chip; (d) a first axially extending electrical lead electrically and mechanically connected to the upper die pad and extending in a first axial direction; (d) a second axially extending electrical lead electrically and mechanically connected to the lower die pad and extending in a second axial direction that is opposite to the first axial direction; (e) packaging material encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the upper and lower die pads and a portion of the first and second axially extending leads; and wherein the first and second leads extend from said packaging material and are adapted to allow the device to be axially-mounted with another electrical component, the first and second leads extending along a common longitudinal axis and the lower and upper die pads extend in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis.
