TO126/220 type electronic box mounting on pcb

摘要

An electronic component (1) to be mounted on a pcb (8) presents a metal blade (2) with a connection hole (3) and a plastic mould (4) which encapsulates an electronic chip (5), e.g. a transistor. The chip is connected to the conducting paths on the pcb via a pin (6). The pin engages a metallised hole (9) provided in the pcb. The metallised hole is aligned with the hole provided in the blade. The pcb is then populated with all the other components which are then soldered in one single operation.
