<p>The problem of assembling electronic components onto circuits automatically, while retaining maximum frecuency response, is solved by this invention. An electronic component (1) with leads (2, 3), such as a microwave choke, resistor, capacitor, or switch, is assembled in a totally electrically non-conductive carrier (21). Each lead from the component has an end attached to the carrier by non-metallic means (24). At least one lead from the component has an unobstructed length between the end of the lead and the component for direct electrical bonding of the lead to a contact in a circuit. By minimizing the lead length between the component and the contact point, and directly attaching the lead to the contact with minimum solder or other described means, electrical reflections and resonances are eliminated. This technology is exemplified in a broadband microwave choke offering frecuency response of 300 Khz to 60 Ghz.</p> |
