The present invention provides apparatuses, systems, and methods of manufacturing surface mountable devices which allow for one or more mounting orientations while decreasing the difficulty of the mounting process and increasing the life of the mounting. One embodiment provides surface mount devices which comprise a casing with a first surface, second surface, and at least one side surfaces. A recess is formed in the first surface of the casing and extends into the casing. A plurality of leads is partially encased by the casing, and one or more electronic devices are coupled with at least one of the plurality of leads and are at least partially exposed through the recess.
The casing 12 can also include four side surfaces 30, 32, 34, and 36 when having a generally cubic shape. The lens 14 is positioned and typically secured relative to the first surface 26. In some embodiments, the lens 14 may extend and/or protrude from the first surface 26.
The mounting surface 66 provides a surface upon which one or more electronic and/or optoelectronic devices 68 can be secured, as shown in phantom line in FIG. 6. Heat is dissipated from the mounted electronic and/or optoelectronic device(s) via the heat sink 24. When the SMD 10 is secured and/or mounted on a device such as a circuit board, the heat sink 24 can be positioned in and/or thermally coupled with a heat sink of the circuit board or other device to further enhance heat dissipation from the mounted electronic and/or optoelectronic device(s).
FIG. 10 shows an enlarged, cross-sectional view of the base 50 and shelf 56 of the heat sink 24 depicted in FIGS. 6-9. In some embodiments, the shelf 56 can taper along a circumferential perimeter 68 toward a central axis 60 (see FIG. 7) of the heat sink 24 and toward the extended plate 48. Typically, the tapering is at such an angle so that a first surface 70 is defined between the tapered perimeter 68 and a side surface 72 of the base 50. The tapered circumferential perimeter 68, the first surface 70, and a second surface 74 of the shelf 56 aid in maintaining the positioning of the heat sink 24 relative to the casing 12 in that the shelf 56 and the surfaces 68, 70, and 74 are encased by the material of the casing 12.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6-9, in some embodiments the heat sink 24 further includes one or more bores or through-holes 76. These bores 76 extend through at least the extended plate 48 and the base 50 depending on the diameter 54 of the base. These bores 76 allow material 77 of the casing 12 to extend through the bores 76, as shown in phantom line in FIG. 6, to at least in part further enhance the stability of the heat sink 24 and the electronic and/or optoelectronic device(s) mounted on the mounting surface 66 relative to the casing 12 and/or leads 16, 18, 20, 22.
Extended lead portions 110, 112, 114, 116 extend from the surface mount areas 84, 86, 88, 90 respectively, to provide a conductive path between the surface mount areas 84, 86, 88, 90 and the device coupling areas 92, 94, 96, 98. In some embodiments, the extended lead portions 110, 112, 114, 116 have a width 118 that is less than the width of the surface mount areas 84, 86, 88, 90. Each lead 16, 18, 20, 22 is bent about 90 degrees from being generally parallel with the contact surface 38 of the heat sink 24, extending along the first and second side surfaces 30, 32 of the casing 12. At a first height 120, each lead 16, 18, 20, 22 is bent again about 90 degrees to be generally parallel with the surface mount areas 84, 86, 88, 90 and the mounting surface 66 of the heat sink 24.
