Abstract
A flat package for semiconductor integrated circuit devices allows edge-mounting and surface-mount. The package may be molded plastic containing a semiconductor chip, and flat leads extend from one edge of the package. The leads are bent to provide an area to solder to conductors on a PC board. Mechanical positioning, mechanical support and spacing are provided by studs extending from the edge of the package adjacent the leads. The studs have stops formed at a position even with flat outer surfaces of the bent leads; the portion outward of the stops fits into holes in the PC board.
