Abstract
An electronic assembly that includes a rigid printed circuit board having an upper surface with a first plurality of lands. The electronic assembly further includes a flexible printed circuit board having a second plurality of lands on an upper surface. The lower surface of the flexible printed circuit board is directly attached to the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board. The electronic assembly further includes a plurality of wires. Each of the wires is bonded to the first plurality of lands on the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board and the second plurality of lands on the upper surface of the flexible printed circuit board.
Claims11
An electronic assembly comprising:
- a rigid printed circuit board that includes an upper surface having a first plurality of lands;
- a flexible printed circuit board that includes a second plurality of lands on an upper surface, wherein a lower surface of the flexible printed circuit board is directly attached to the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board, wherein the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board includes a first ground pad, and the lower surface of the flexible printed circuit board includes a second ground pad that is directly electrically bonded to the first ground pad;
- and
- a plurality of wires, each of the wires being bonded to one of the first plurality of lands on the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board and one of the second plurality of lands on the upper surface of the flexible printed circuit board.
An electronic assembly comprising:
- a rigid printed circuit board that includes an upper surface having a first plurality of lands;
- a flexible printed circuit board that includes a second plurality of lands on an upper surface, wherein a lower surface of the flexible printed circuit board is directly attached to the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board, wherein the first plurality of lands includes a first set of lands and a second set of lands such that the flexible printed circuit board is disposed between the first set of lands and the second set of lands on the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of wires, each of the wires being bonded to one of the first plurality of lands on the upper surface of the rigid printed circuit board and one of the second plurality of lands on the upper surface of the flexible printed circuit board.
An electronic assembly, comprising:
- an interposer that includes a lower surface and an upper surface, the upper surface of the interposer having a first plurality of lands;
- a flexible printed circuit board that includes a second plurality of lands on an upper surface, wherein the flexible printed circuit board includes a lower surface that is directly attached to the upper surface of the interposer;
- a rigid printed circuit board directly electrically bonded to the lower surface of the interposer such that the interposer electrically connects the rigid printed circuit board to the flexible printed circuit board, wherein the upper surface of interposer includes a first ground pad, and the lower surface of the flexible printed circuit board includes a second ground pad that is directly electrically-bonded to the first ground pad;
- and
- a plurality of wires, each of the wires being bonded to one of the first plurality of lands on the upper surface of the interposer and one of the second plurality of lands on the upper surface of the flexible printed circuit board.
An electronic assembly, comprising:
- an interposer that includes a lower surface and an upper surface, the upper surface of the interposer having a first plurality of lands;
- a flexible printed circuit board that includes a second plurality of lands on an upper surface, wherein the flexible printed circuit board includes a lower surface that is directly attached to the upper surface of the interposer;
- a rigid printed circuit board directly electrically bonded to the lower surface of the interposer such that the interposer electrically connects the rigid printed circuit board to the flexible printed circuit board, wherein the first plurality of lands includes a first set of lands and a second set of lands such that the flexible printed circuit board is disposed between the first set of lands and the second set of lands on the upper surface of the interposer;
- and
- a plurality of wires, each of the wires being bonded to one of the first plurality of lands on the upper surface of the interposer and one of the second plurality of lands on the upper surface of the flexible printed circuit board.
