          Appeal No. 96-2243                                                          
          Application 08/327,447                                                      



                    We agree with the Appellants, the pins of Kishida                 
          are not part of the printed circuit, and the printed circuit                
          is claimed to extend externally of the package.  For these                  
          reasons we will not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 102 or 35 U.S.C. §              
          103 rejections of claim 30, and likewise the rejection of                   
          dependent claims 31 through 33 which contain the same                       
          limitation discussed supra.                                                 
                    Independent claim 34 contains the same limitation as              
          discussed with regard to claim 30 (i.e. printed circuit which               
          extends externally of the package), and we will therefore not               
          sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of this claim.                        
          Likewise, we will not sustain this rejection of dependent                   
          claims 35 through 39 which contain the same limitation.                     
























                                          9
