LEAD FRAME FOR AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a leadframe for at least one electronic component, comprising at least two electrical lead elements, each of which comprises at least one electrical lead tab and at least one retention tab. Provided between the at least one retention tab and the lead element is a score defining a parallel offset between the retention tab and the adjacent region of the lead element. An additional parallel offset is defined between the lead element and the electrical lead tab, such that the retention tab and the electrical lead tab are located in a common plane. The score enables the retention tab to be removed easily without the need for a disadvantageous punched gap between the lead element and the retention tab.
