Abstract:
A method of mounting an electronic component having an undersurface and comprising at least one contact extending across a portion of the undersurface, the method comprising:providing a support having a smaller area than an area of the undersurface of the electronic component, the support comprising at least one contact pad for connection to the at least one contact, and the at least one contact pad having a first portion extending across an upper surface of the support adjacent an edge thereof and a second portion extending from the edge across a side surface of the support; positioning the electronic component and the support so that undersurface of the electronic component is adjacent the upper surface of the support, the first portion of the at least one contact, pad is aligned with and spaced apart from a first portion of the at least one contact, and the second portion of the at least one contact pad is aligned with and disposed inwardly of a second portion of the at least one contact; forming a solder connection between the at least one contact and the at least one contact pad, the solder connection comprising a generally planar portion between the first portion of the at least one contact and the at least one contact pad; and forming a fillet portion extending angularly from the second portion of the at least one contact to the second portion of the at least one contact pad.
