Patent ID: 6940022

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: an electronic device having an outer surface and a first and second conductive termination on the surface for connection to an external circuit, wherein at least the second conductive termination comprises a plurality of conductive terminations; a protective, conformal coating on the outer surface of the electronic device; a first window formed in the protective coating that exposes at least a portion of the first conductive termination without exposing any other conductive termination on the surface of the electronic device, wherein the exposed portion of the conductive termination is recessed in the first window of the conformal coating, the first window defining a boundary for a solder connection between the external circuit and the first conductive termination; and a second window comprising a plurality of openings exposing a respective portion of a respective one of the plurality of conductive terminations, wherein each exposed respective portion is recessed within a respective one of the plurality of openings in the protective coating, each respective one of the plurality of openings defining a boundary for a respective solder connection between the external circuit and the respective one of the plurality of conductive terminations.
