  • Patent number: 8333011
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the present invention a method for making an electronic assembly is provided. The method comprises positioning a substrate having a plurality of segmented portions. A first segmented portion has a first plurality of conductive traces terminating to form a first plurality of conductive pads. A second segmented portion has a second plurality of conductive traces terminating to form a second plurality of conductive pads. A flex circuit is placed onto the conductive pads. The flex circuit includes 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. Electronic components are electrically coupled to the first and second plurality of conductive traces to form a primary PCB and a daughter PCB. The connecting pads are electrically coupled to the conductive pads for electrically coupling the daughter PCB to the primary PCB.
