Abstract: A curved array ultrasonic transducer is manufactured by cutting a flat transducer plate (12), which is attached to a flexible support plate (11), into a plurality of segments (14), the segments being hingedly attached by the support plate. The support plate is bent to a radius (FIG. 2) and the conductive traces in a flexible circuit board are electrically connected to the transducer plate segments (FIG. 4). The flexible circuit board, having a plurality of branches, is bent to a perpendicular position such that the traces in the plurality of branches become substantially aligned (FIG. 6). The traces exiting the branches are then electrically connected to a pin and socket connector device (FIG. 8).
