Electronic component assembly

An electronic component assembly comprising:

• a flex cable;
• and
• a plurality of electronic components connected to the flex cable,
• wherein the flex cable comprises a general folded shape with the electronic components arranged in a general stacked orientation and wherein portions of the flex cable at bent sections of the folded shape form lateral side contact areas for contacting electrical connection areas of another member,
• wherein the electronic component assembly comprises a general square shape and the lateral side contact areas are located on at least two orthogonal sides of the general square shape.

An electronic component assembly comprising:

• a flex cable;
• and
• a plurality of electronic components connected to the flex cable, wherein the flex cable comprises a general folded shape with the electronic components arranged in a general stacked orientation and wherein portions of the flex cable at bent sections of the folded shape form lateral side contact areas for contacting electrical connection areas of another member;
• and
• an electrical connector socket, wherein the plurality of electronic components are located at least partially in the socket and the flex cable electrically connects the socket with the plurality of electronic components.

A hand-held mobile communications device comprising:

• a housing;
• a user interface (UI) section on the housing;
• electronic circuitry inside the housing and coupled to the user interface, wherein the electronic circuitry comprises a transceiver and an electronic component assembly comprising:
• a flex cable;
• and
• a plurality of electronic components connected to the flex cable,
• wherein the flex cable comprises a general folded shape with the electronic components arranged in a general stacked orientation and wherein portions of the flex cable at bent sections of the folded shape form lateral side contact areas which contact electrical connection areas of another member of the electronic circuitry to thereby electrically connect the electronic component assembly to the rest of the electronic circuitry of the hand-held mobile communications device.
