First Claim
Patent Images
1. A flexible attachment assembly comprising:
- a. a flexible substrate;
b. an electrically conductive connection area coupled to the flexible substrate;
c. a plurality of electrically conductive micro-pads, each electrically conductive micro-pad has a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end is connected to the electrically conductive connection area such that the electrically conductive connection area electrically interconnects all electrically conductive micro-pads; and
d. a conductive wire, wherein a portion of the conductive wire is mechanically and electrically coupled to the second ends of the plurality of electrically conductive micro-pads, further wherein a remaining portion of the conductive wire extends beyond a footprint of the flexible substrate.
