Abstract
A flex circuit, which is fabricated from metallization on thin film, is mounted between two opposite sides of frame to form an electronic card sized to fit as a replacement for a rigid epoxy glass card in a card carrier having a backplane. Appropriate placement of electrical components on the flex circuit and using a flex circuit longer than the spacing between the opposite sides of the frame to which the flex circuit is mounted, allows the use of taller parts on adjacent cards in the card carrier, since the flex circuit can be conformed to eliminate obstructions caused by insufficient spacing between cards.
