Abstract
An assembly which a concave member and a first substrate having a transverse opening which is superimposed over the concave member to form an internal chamber. A second substrate having a transverse opening is also superimposed over said first substrate, and an electrical connector means is mounted on the second substrate. A flex circuit is interposed in spaced generally parallel relation between the first substrate and the concave member. An extension of the flex circuit extends through the transverse openings of the first and second substrate to engage the electrical connector means.
Claims38
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame forming a first interior gas tight area and a second separate interior area, the frame having a frame member with an aperture therethrough, the aperture extending into the second separate area, and the frame member bordering both the first and second areas;
- a first flex circuit extending through the aperture into the second separate area;
- and
- a second flex circuit electrically connected to the first flex circuit at a connection in the second area.
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame forming a first gas tight chamber;
- a first flex circuit extending from inside to outside the frame;
- and
- a printed circuit member connected to the flex circuit, the printed circuit member comprising an aperture with the flex circuit extending through the aperture.
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame forming a first gas tight area and a second area substantially isolated from the first gas tight area;
- a flex circuit extending from the first gas tight area into the second area, and extending from the second area to an exterior side of the frame through an open hole in the frame;
- and
- a printed circuit member fixedly connected to the exterior side of the frame, wherein the flex circuit is electrically connected to the printed circuit member, and wherein the flex circuit extends around a perimeter of a boundary between the second area and the first gas tight area.
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame comprising a base and a cover, the frame forming an interior area;
- a flex circuit located in the interior area;
- a stiffener member located in the interior area and mounted to the frame;
- and
- a seal member located inside the interior area, wherein the flex circuit extends between the seal member and the stiffener member, and wherein the frame, the stiffener and the seal member form a gas tight chamber in the interior area.
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame comprising a cover connected to a base along a junction;
- at least one flex circuit, a first one of the flex circuits having a portion extending from inside the frame to outside the frame;
- a seal on the at least one flex circuit which seals off two sections of the flex circuit from each other in two separate areas inside the frame, the seal being located inside an interior area of the frame spaced from the junction;
- wherein the at least one flex circuit isolates one of the two separate areas from another.
A gas tight chamber and flex circuit assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- at least one flex circuit, a first one of the flex circuits having a first portion which extends through a hole in the frame;
- and
- a seal on one of the flex circuits to form two areas inside the frame separated by the seal and the flex circuit, wherein the seal is spaced from the first portion of the first flex circuit where the first portion extends through the hole in the frame;
- wherein the seal is seated on the flex circuit around a perimeter of the seal.
