Abstract:
A multiple-axis sensor package (20) and method of assembling a multiple-axis sensor package (20) arc provided. The package (20) includes a first substrate (30) having a first accelerometer (32) for sensing acceleration (A x ) in a first sensing axis (X-axis). The package (20) also includes a second substrate (40) having a second accelerometer (42) for sensing acceleration (A y ) in a second sensing axis (Y-axis). The package (20) further includes one or more bent lead connectors (90) connecting the first substrate (30) to the second substrate (40), wherein the one or more bent lead connectors (90) are bent so that the first sensing axis (X-axis) is different than the second sensing axis (Y-axis).

Abstract:
An electronic package (10) is provided having a circuit board (36) including a substrate electrical circuitry including circuit traces and first and second contacts (22 and 24) for connecting to surface mount device(s) (16A). The first and second contacts (22 and 24) each have multiple components including first and second pads (22A and 22B). The first pad (22A) is separate from the second pad (22B) to allow for low cost and easy testing of the electrical circuit.
