Abstract

A carrier for an electrical component, including a substrate having a surface, with an electrically conductive contact zone arranged on the surface of the substrate, a solder pad disposed on the contact zone, and a solder stop structure disposed laterally next to the solder pad. The solder stop structure has a surface that is less wettable with liquid solder than a surface of the contact zone. The solder stop structure subdivides the contact zone into a first zone region and a second zone region, with the first zone region having the solder pad. The solder stop structure extends over a portion of a total length of the contact zone such that the contact zone has a free connecting region that is free of the solder stop structure. The first and second zone regions are connected to one another by means of the free connecting region.
