Abstract

A surface mounted device (SMD) having leads selectively solderable so that those portions of the leads extending down along the sides of the device body are not solderable. Thus, during attachment to a mother board by wave soldering, solder does not collect in the spaces between the leads and the device body, and both solder joint reliability and strength are improved.
