Abstract: A surface mount device having features on contacts to prevent the surface mount device from tombstoning. The feature may be channel defined by the contact that helps balance a torque/force applied on each side of the surface mount device during a reflow soldering process. The feature may also be a solder mask that helps balance a torque/force applied on each side of the surface mount device during a reflow soldering process.
