ABSTRACT:
A space-saving circuit board mounting of a Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) device, such as a resistor, capacitor, ferrite or clock oscillator, is achieved using (1) a single through hole extending transversely through the board substrate, and (2) a cylindrical adapter having a first longitudinal portion coaxially received in the through hole and a second longitudinal portion projecting outwardly therefrom. The second longitudinal adapter portion has a radially inwardly extending notch that receives the SMT device and positions it with its electrically conductive opposite end sections spaced apart in a direction parallel to the axis of the through hole. Spaced apart external metal plating sections on the adapter connect the SMT device end portions to circumferentially separated metal plating segments on the surface of the through hole which, in turn, are representatively connected to ground and signal plane structures within the interior of the board substrate.
