Surface mount conductive polymer devices and methods for manufacturing such devices

摘要

A surface mounted conductive polymer device has an active element, comprising a layer (76) of conductive polymeric material sandwiched between first and second conductive electrode layers (78 & 80). A first thermal lead (82a) has a first juncture with the first electrode layer (78) while a second terminal lead (82b) has a second juncture with the second electrode layer (80). An insulative package (86) encloses the active element and the first and second junctures.
