Abstract
Stacked flex cable assemblies and their manufacture are described. One assembly includes a first flex cable and a second flex cable electrically coupled to the first flex cable. The assembly also includes a connector electrically coupled to the first flex cable. The first flex cable is positioned between the connector and the second flex cable. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims25
A stacked flex cable assembly comprising:
- a first flex cable;
- a second flex cable electrically coupled to the first flex cable;
- and
- a connector electrically coupled to the first flex cable;
- wherein the first flex cable is positioned between the connector and the second flex cable.
A stacked flex cable assembly comprising:
- a first flex cable portion;
- a second flex cable portion positioned over the first flex cable portion;
- and
- a connector electrically coupled to the first flex cable portion;
- wherein the first flex cable portion is positioned between the connector and the second flex cable portion.
A method for forming a stacked flex cable assembly, comprising:
- coupling a first flex cable to a second flex cable;
- and
- coupling a connector to the first flex cable;
- wherein the first flex cable is positioned between the connector and the second flex cable.
A method for forming a stacked flex cable assembly, comprising:
- providing a flex cable including a first flex cable portion and a second flex cable portion;
- coupling a connector to the flex cable;
- coupling a body to the flex cable, wherein the body is positioned on an opposite side of the flex cable than the connector;
- and
- bending the flex cable around the body so that the resultant flex cable comprises a first flex cable portion positioned on a first side of the body, a second flex cable portion positioned on a second side of the body opposite the first side, and a curved flex cable portion connecting the first flex cable portion and the second flex cable portion.
