Abstract:
An electrical circuit package wherein a flexible support member having conductive materials and electronic components thereon is fused with a substrate which acts as a support for the film. This results in a unitary packaged circuit. In one embodiment the film is a decal on which certain portions have a substrate fused thereto. In other embodiments, various layers of conductive materials are applied and molded into the substrate to form a variety of electronic functions. The circuit package lends itself to high production and reliability as well as cost savings.
Abstract:
A molded circuit board is constructed by forming a plurality of resin moldings integrally with a circuit film including an insulating film and circuit pattern on the insulating film, spaced specified distances therebetween, on one side of the circuit film. The plurality of moldings can be assembled into an electronic device box by bending the intermediate portion, between the moldings, of the circuit film.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a circuit board (300) comprising a bendable electric plug connection for a flexible plug design. The invention further discloses a method for the production of the circuit board according to the invention with freely bendable plug connections. The invention further relates to a method for assembling the circuit board according to the invention with the housing or housing parts. According to the invention, the circuit board (300) comprises a region, known as a bendable region (320), provided with a bended edge (303) and being bendable along said bended edge relative to the main region of the circuit board. The contact pins (301) are pressed onto the bendable region in a perpendicular fashion. By bending said bendable region together with the contact pins perpendicularly disposed thereon, a plug connection disposed laterally or at any given angle transversely to the main plane of the circuit board can be produced. Such circuit boards can be integrated into a housing in a very simple and cost-effective manner.
