US 12,582,339 B2 · Electrical components for physiological monitoring device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device configured to be adhered to the surface of a mammal for recording physiological signals. The device may include a housing enclosing a circuit board and a flexible wing extending from the housing. The device may include an electrode coupled to the flexible wing and an electrical trace for transmitting an electrical signal between the electrode and the circuit board. The electrical trace may have an insulator with a conductive material and resistors printed on the surface of the insulator. The trace layer may include conductive vias for transmitting the signal from a bottom of the trace layer to a top of the trace layer. The housing may include a battery having a battery terminal connector configured to provide electrical access to both terminals on a single side of the battery. The housing may include a floating trigger button.
