METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AN ELECTRONIC PACKAGE

摘要

There is disclosed a process for the assembly of an electronic package (30) in which the outer lead ends (14) of a leadframe (50) are solderable (38) to external circuitry (36) without the necessity of a tin or solder coat. An oxidation resistant layer (44) is deposited on the leadframe (50) prior to package (30) assembly. The oxidation resistant layer (44) is removed prior to outer lead (14) soldering (38) providing a clean, oxide free metallic surface (46) for soldering (38).
