The present invention relates to a molded air-cavity package. In addition, the present invention is related to a device comprising the same. The present invention is particularly related to molded air-cavity packages for radio-frequency ‘RF’ applications including but not limited to RF power amplifiers. Instead of using hard-stop features that are arranged around the entire perimeter of the package in a continuous manner, the present invention proposes to use spaced apart pillars formed by first and second cover supporting elements. By using only a limited amount of pillars, e.g. three or four, the position of the cover relative to the body can be defined in a more predictable manner. This particularly holds if the pillars are arranged in the outer corners of the package.
