Abstract

A microcircuit package in which one or more leads can be grounded to the package by a simple procedure which is performed on a package of usual construction. A braze preform is placed over a lead to be grounded, a metal washer is disposed over the lead and preform, and the assembly is brazed to cause fusing of the washer to the lead and to the header to provide a low resistance grounding connection between the lead and package.
