摘要

The present embodiments provide surface mount devices and/or systems. In some embodiments, the surface mount devices comprise a casing having a recess formed extending at least partially into said casing; and first and second leads each of which is at least partially encased by said casing and each of which has a portion exposed through said recess, wherein at least one of said first and second leads has one or more size reduction features in its said exposed portion that reduces the surface area to provide an increased surface bonding area to said casing around said lead.
