ABSTRACT:
A multi-terminal surface-mounted electronic device with contact surfaces placed entirely or partly around several sides, as well as to a method for manufacturing it. The parts according to the invention allow assembly on a circuit board such as p.c.b. and foil in forward, backward and sideward direction. Previous multi-terminal surface-mounted electronic devices could as a rule be mounted in one direction only. For all other directions such as backwards and sidewards costly special constructions or fundamental changes to the circuit board (printed-circuit board, foil) were necessary. In accordance with the invention, an electronic component is located in a housing and both the electronic component and the housing are joined to a base strip. The base strip provides the terminals whose contact surfaces are so formed that they can embrace the entire housing either completely or partially.
