Abstract: A surface mount component comprising an IC chip, and a plurality of leads extending outward from the body of the chip. The leads are interconnected by an insulating frame at their outer ends. Each of the leads is provided in the vicinity of the portion thereof joined to the frame with an outer lead portion to be electrically connected to a wiring board. The frame is integrally connected to the chip body by bridges. When the component is mounted on the surface of the wiring board, the outer lead portion of each lead is bonded to the board by a solder layer without separating off the frame.
