Abstract

A penetrator and flexible circuit apparatus comprises a penetrator housing having a passageway through which at least one elongated flat flexible circuit having a plurality of parallel electrical traces is placed. A retention material substantially occupies the passageway to retain the flexible circuit in the passageway, to establish a hermetic seal of the flexible circuit within the penetrator and to thereby seal the interior of a computer which is cooled by cooling fluid from its exterior environment.
