The present application discloses a casing and a corresponding mounting device, for protecting pins of an element from melting during a process flow in which the element is soldered on a circuit board, while saving an area required for soldering the element on the circuit board. The casing comprises a hollow body provided with at least one opening.
1. A mounting device comprising
an element having soldered pins, and
a casing having
a hollow body for receiving the element and at least one opening to allow the pins to extend from the opening, and
a base coupled to the hollow body, the base (a) extending in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the opening and (b) having a groove extending to the opening on a bottom surface thereof, at least one pin being bent in the groove to form a solder joint.
2. A mounting device according to claim 1 wherein the element is a thermistor.
