The flexible circuit board has a first end that is directly attached to an edge of the rigid circuit board.
Claims20
A circuit breaker comprising:
- a housing;
- a first rigid circuit board mounted inside the housing in a first orientation position, the first rigid circuit board having a first surface for mounting a first electronic component;
- a second rigid circuit board mounted inside the housing in a second orientation position, the second rigid circuit board having a second surface for mounting a second electronic component;
- and
- a flexible circuit board coupling the first rigid circuit board to the second rigid circuit board such that the first orientation position of the first rigid circuit board is capable of being in a non-parallel plane relative to the second orientation position of the second rigid circuit board.
