Patent ID: 7059867

Claim:
A high density multi-lead surface mount interconnect, comprising: an elongated carrier, wherein the carrier defines a first receiving area and a second receiving area on an exterior surface of the carrier; a first lead connected to the carrier at the first receiving, area wherein the first lead includes: a first planar surface for connection to a first printed circuit board; and a second planar surface for connection to a second printed circuit board, wherein the second planar surface is opposite the first planar surface; and a second lead connected to the carrier at the second receiving area, wherein the second lead includes: a third planar surface for connection to the first printed circuit board, wherein the third planar surface is coplanar with the first planar surface; and a fourth planar surface for connection to the second printed circuit board, wherein the fourth planar surface is opposite the third planar surface and coplanar with the second planar surface.
