Patent ID: 10499511

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include flexible circuit board interconnections and methods regarding the same. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of connecting a plurality of flexible circuit boards together comprising the steps applying a solder composition between an upper surface of a first flexible circuit board and a lower surface of a second flexible circuit board; holding the upper surface of the first flexible circuit board and the lower surface of the second flexible circuit board together; and reflowing the solder composition with a heat source to bond the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board together to form a flexible circuit board strip having a length longer than either of the first flexible circuit board or second flexible circuit board separately. In an embodiment the invention includes a circuit board clamp for holding flexible circuit boards together, the clamp including a u-shaped fastener; a spring tension arm connected to the u-shaped fastener; and an attachment mechanism connected to the spring tension arm. Other embodiments are also included herein.
