  • Patent number: 10667401
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multilayer structure, includes obtaining a substrate film for accommodating electronics, providing, preferably at least in part by printed electronics technology, a number of conductive traces, and optionally electronic components, at least on a first side of the substrate film to establish a predetermined circuit design, providing a connector element to said substrate film to electrically connect to the circuit, wherein the substrate film is arranged with at least one hole, preferably through hole, substantially matching the location of the connector element so that a number of electrically conductive contact members of the connector element are accessible from a second, opposite side of the substrate film via said at least one hole, and molding thermoplastic material on said first side of the substrate film and said connector element to substantially cover the established circuit and the side of the connector element facing the material.

  • Patent number: 10057989
    Abstract: Multilayer structure, including a substrate film having a first and second opposite side, said substrate film including electrically insulating material, conductive traces on the first side of the substrate film for establishing a predetermined circuit design, a connector element laid upon the first side of, said substrate film, one side of the connector element facing the structure internals and the other, opposite side facing the environment on the second side of the substrate film including a number of electrically conductive contact members electrically connected to the circuit on the first side of the substrate film and configured to contact one or more electrical contact members of an external element responsive to mating the external element with the connector element, and a plastic layer molded onto the substrate film and the connector element so as to cover said one side of the connector element and the circuit.

  • Patent number: 9576755
    Abstract: An article of manufacture having an in-molded resistive and/or shielding element and method of making the same are shown and described. In one disclosed method, a resistive and/or shielding element is printed on a film. The film is formed to a desired shape and put in an injection mold. A molten plastic material is introduced into the injection mold to form a rigid structure that retains the film.
