Abstract
Configurations for a power module having a flexible circuit assembly and corresponding method. The flexible circuit assembly has at least one electrically conductive portion. A first plurality of cells is placed adjacent to one another to form a first cell layer, the first cell layer being positioned on a first side of the flexible circuit assembly. Each of the first plurality of cells has a respective cell body with at least four respective edges. The first plurality of cells has respective cell tabs, including a respective first tab and a respective second tab both extending from one of the at least four respective edges. The flexible circuit assembly is configured to be aligned with the first cell layer such that a voltage sensing circuit joint is concurrently completed when the respective cell tabs of the first cell layer are joined to respective captured portions of the flexible circuit assembly.
