Package for semiconductor devices

A packaged semiconductor device (100) including a semiconductor die (105) mounted on a header (104) of a leadframe. A plurality of spaced external conductors (101, 103) extends from the header (104) and at least one of the external conductors (101, 103) has a bond wire pad (106, 107) at one end thereof such that a bonding wire (108, 109) extends between the bond wire pad (106, 107) and the semiconductor die (105). The package device (100) also includes a housing (115), which encloses the semiconductor die (105), the header (104), the bonding wire/s (108, 109) and the bonding wire pad/s (106, 107) resulting in an insulated packaged device (100).
