Abstract

Abstract An integrated circuit module in which the circuit elements are encapsulated in a block of dielectric material having a number of channels in each of a pair of opposite sides. The leads from the elements extend into the channels, the walls of which protect the leads. The module is designed to be wedged between rows of post contacts fixed in a block with the posts extending along the channels in contact with the leads.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
An integrated circuit module comprising a generally slablike unitary molding of dielectric material formed on opposite sides with projections spaced apart longitudinally of the molding and defining channels having bases and sidewalls and extending through the thickness of the molding, the bases of the channels on opposite sides of the molding extending to one major surface of the molding, a circuit element encapsulated within the molding and having leads connected thereto, the ends of each lead of the circuit element being contained within the molding, a portion of each lead intermediate the ends lying within a respective channel and contiguous with the channel base, said projections serving to protect the leads against damage during handling of the module.
