Lead Frames

Lead Frames

Offers a complete line of photochemically-milled and electroformed lead frames. A wide-range of alloys are available to meet critical properties: high strenght, formability, and high electrical and thermal conductivities.

Lead frames provide mechanical support to the die during its assembly into a finished product. It consists of a die paddle to which the die is attached, and leads, which serve as the means for external electrical connection to the outside world. The die is connected to the leads by wires through wirebonding.
