Abstract:
1. A transistor outline housing, comprising: a device including a receiver diode or a transmitter diode; a base that receives the device; and bonding wires connecting the device to at least one connection lead, the connection lead passing through a passage in the base, being insulated from the base, and being secured in the base by a sealing compound; wherein the housing has a configuration to reduce a length of the bonding wires, the configuration being selected from the group consisting of: providing the connection lead with an enlarged cross section at a side of the device as compared to a cross section in the passage, providing the connection lead with an asymmetric arrangement in the passage, angling the connection lead, and protruding the device into an area of the passage; and wherein, in order to at least partially compensate for an increase in capacity resulting thereby, the connection lead has an excess length beyond the passage at a side of an electrical connection; wherein the bonding wires have an inductance L wherein the connection lead beyond the passage has an excess length that has associated therewith an inductance L
