Patent ID: 8817458

Claim:
A flexible circuit board comprising: a multilayer flex circuit having a bifurcated area along one edge thereof and a plurality of electronic components mounted on at least one surface thereof; and a plurality of electrode pads functionally connected to said electronic components and positioned on selected surfaces of said bifurcated area so that when the two legs of said bifurcated area are spread apart by about 180° said electrode pads align with respective contacts on a motherboard, and are connectable thereto, so that a secure, mechanically flexible electrical connection is created between said flexible circuit board and said motherboard; and with said bifurcated area is spread apart by about 180°; the respective angle of each legs of said bifurcation relative to the plane of the non-bifurcated portion of said flex circuit is chosen so that said flex circuit may be mounted at a selected angle with respect to said motherboard.
