The device includes a connector support molded onto the film and electrical connection tracks in order to form walls adapted to hold the connector.
Claims12
A molded electronic device comprising:
- a film, and
- electrical connection tracks arranged on the film, the electrical connection tracks comprising connection pads configured to be connected to conductive elements of a connector, the electrical connection tracks extending in part along a longitudinal direction, and said connector being an elastic connector, and
- wherein said molded electronic device further comprises a connector support molded onto the film and onto the electrical connection tracks in order to form walls adapted to hold the connector above the connection pads and between said walls.
A method for manufacturing a molded electronic device comprising the steps of:
- providing a film,
- forming electrical connection tracks arranged on the film, the electrical connection tracks comprising connection pads configured to be connected to conductive elements of a connector, the electrical connection tracks extending partially along a longitudinal direction D1, and said connector being an elastic connector, and
- forming a connector support by molding onto the film and on the electrical connection tracks to form walls adapted to hold the connector above the connection pads and between said walls.
