  • Flexible appliance and related method for orthogonal, non-planar interconnections
    Patent number: 7479604
    Abstract: At least one flexible appliance (120) and related method (300) for orthogonal, non-planar interconnections of at least a first electronic interface (115) disposed on a substrate (110) to an associated second electronic interface (161) positioned beneath the substrate (110). The flexible appliance (120) is comprised of a planar body (121) having at least one electrical connector (122) extending from and orthogonally oriented relative to the planar body (121). In one aspect of the invention, the electrical connector (122) is four electrical connectors (122). There is at least one aperture (112) formed in the substrate (110) for allowing the first electronic interface (115) to be electrically interconnected to the associated second electronic interface (161). The flexible appliance (120) is positioned on the substrate (110) by automated means.
