  • Rectifier with slug construction and mold for fabricating same
    Patent number: 4564885
    Abstract: A rectifier designed for leadless surface mounting on a P.C. board has a cylindrical body situated between two disk-like end parts. The end parts extend radially beyond the surface of the body defining a recess adapted to receive epoxy compound. A plurality of rectifiers are situated end-to-end within elongated cylindrical cavities in a mold. The end parts cooperate with the cavity walls to seal each individual recess when the mold halves are closed. Openings in the cavity wall aligned with each recess permit epoxy compound to enter each recess and be cured. Leads may be attached to the end parts after the molding operation to convert the rectifier into an axial lead device, if required.
    Type: Grant
