  • Apparatus and method for mounting micromechanical fluid control components
    Patent number: 6123107
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting micromechanical fluid control components includes a manifold interface plate adaptable for connection to a manifold substrate oriented in a horizontal plane. The manifold interface plate receives mounting stress forces from the manifold substrate along the horizontal plane. An orthogonal component plate is connected to the manifold interface plate in a vertical plane with respect to the horizontal plane of the manifold substrate. The orthogonal component plate includes an orthogonal mounting surface with a micromechanical fluid control component mounted on it. The position of the micromechanical fluid control component on the orthogonal mounting surface substantially isolates the micromechanical fluid control component from the mounting stress forces.
