Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pad
Item Name Code (INC) 61934
 |
An item fabricated from electrically nonconductive material specifically designed to provide a support for mounting an electrical and/or an electronic component such as a semiconductor device, relay, or resistor into the next higher assembly. It isolates the component from the mounting surface of the next higher assembly, it may act as a strain relief to avoid damage to the component seal, and it may permit soldering of the component to the next higher assembly without damage. It includes holes, notches, or other provisions for physical alignment and spacing of electrical leads and/or other mounting facilities projecting from the component it mounts. It may also afford protection from shock or vibration. It may be either nonthermally conductive which protects the component from temperature changes in the next higher assembly or it may be thermally conductive which permits heat generated in the component to be drained out to a heat sink. For items whose function is electrical insulation only, see INSULATOR, (as modified). Excludes HOLDER, (as modified); RETAINER, (as modified), and SPACER, PLATE.
Additional Information for Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pad
Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pads are small, flat surfaces or platforms used for mounting electrical and electronic components onto a circuit board or other electronic devices. They provide a stable and secure base for components to be soldered or attached to, ensuring proper electrical connections and mechanical stability.
These mounting pads are part of the supply class Miscellaneous Electrical And Electronic Components, which includes various small components used in electrical and electronic equipment. They are specifically categorized under the supply group Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components, which encompasses a wide range of components used in the construction and assembly of electrical and electronic devices.
Electrical-Electronic Component Mounting Pads come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on the specific requirements of the component being mounted. They are typically made of materials such as copper, aluminum, or FR-4 (a type of fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate), which provide good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
These mounting pads are essential for ensuring the proper functioning and reliability of electrical and electronic devices. They help to secure components in place, prevent short circuits, and provide a stable platform for electrical connections.
