Abstract:
1. A method for making an electronic assembly that includes a primary printed circuit board (PCB) and at least one daughter PCB electrically coupled to the primary PCB, the method comprising: positioning a rigid substrate having a plurality of segmented portions connected together including a first segmented portion and second segmented portion, the first segmented portion having a first plurality of conductive traces terminating to form a first plurality of conductive pads, the second segmented portion having a second plurality of conductive traces terminating to form a second plurality of conductive pads; placing at least one electronic component along each of the first and second plurality of conductive traces; placing a flex circuit onto the first and second plurality of conductive pads, the flex circuit including a third plurality of conductive traces terminating at a first end to form a first plurality of connecting pads and terminating at a second end to form a second plurality of connecting pads, the first and second plurality of connecting pads correspond respectively to the first and second plurality of conductive pads, placing the flex circuit including: electrically coupling the electronic components to the first and second plurality of conductive traces forming respectively the primary PCB and the daughter PCB; and electrically coupling the first and second plurality of connecting pads respectively to the first and second plurality of conductive pads for electrically coupling the daughter PCB to the primary PCB.
