Patent ID: 7916495

Claim:
A universal solder pad of a circuit carrier for use with a plurality of SMD components having different sizes, each of said SMD components comprising a first conductive part and a second conductive part, said universal solder pad comprising: a first pad unit electrically connected to said first conductive part of said SMD component; and a second pad unit electrically connected to said second conductive part of said SMD component, wherein each of said first pad unit and said second pad unit includes a main portion and a first extension portion, said first extension portion is extended from a first sidewall of said main portion and includes a first border, a second border and a third border, and said second border and said third border of said first extension portion are parallel with each other for facilitating alignment of said first and second conductive parts of said SMD component with respect to said first pad unit and said second pad unit; said main portions of said first pad unit and said second pad unit further include respective second sidewalls, third sidewalls and fourth sidewalls, wherein the distance from said second border to said third border is shorter than that from said second sidewall to said third sidewall of the main portion; and wherein said first pad unit and said second pad unit further include respective confining portions, which are extended from the middles of said fourth sidewalls of said main portions.
