Abstract

The leads of surface-mountable electronic device packages are protected against damage from inadvertent bending by storage in a two-piece cradle. A plurality of peripheral ribs interdigitate with the leads to maintain preferred lead orientation leaving the free end of each lead exposed for electrical contact from outside the cradle.
