Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a circuit trace and a connector pad. The connector pad provides electrical and mechanical mounting of a connector lead of a surface mount device and provides a circuit path between the surface mount device and the circuit trace. The connector pad includes 1) a connector pad base electrically coupled to the circuit trace, and 2) a first connector pad island electrically isolated from the connector pad base. The connector pad base has a length that is substantially equal to a length of a contact portion of the connector lead.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of providing a connector pad on a printed circuit board, the connector pad for mounting a connector lead of a surface mount device, the method comprising:\n fabricating a circuit trace on the printed circuit board; and fabricating the connector pad on the printed circuit board, the connector pad configured to provide electrical and mechanical mounting of the connector lead of the surface mount device and to provide a circuit path between the surface mount device and the circuit trace, wherein in fabricating the connector pad, the method further comprises:\n fabricating a connector pad base electrically coupled to the circuit trace, wherein the connector pad base has a length that is substantially equal to a length of a contact portion of the connector lead; and \n fabricating a first connector pad island electrically isolated from the connector pad base.
