Abstract
An RF electronic component for mounting on a substrate includes a housing; and at least one electronic device having an input and/or output incorporated in the housing. At least one input/output terminal connects to a connection pad on the substrate; and an electrical transition provides an electrical connection between the input/output terminal and an input/output of an electronic device incorporated in the electronic component. The electrical transition comprises a side termination at least partially located on an outer surface of the housing; and an array of conductive through holes formed inside the housing at an offset from the side termination. The array is arranged so that the axes of the through holes are substantially mutually parallel and coplanar, and the array of through holes is connected to form a ground plane at the offset from the side termination.
