Abstract
For economic, space-saving and simplicity in design, an assembly is provided of a printed circuit board and flexible container in which the board has an electrical connector mounted upon it, and the printed board and connector are positioned wholly within the container. The container is electrically connected to another connector exteriorly of the container by terminal pins extending through the container. Preferably the terminal pins extend through individual holes formed through the container by the force of the pins during engagement of the connectors. The pins are electrically isolated from an EMI protection layer in the container wall, but other pins may actually contact the EMI protection layer to provide a ground. A method of assembly is also described and, in addition, a mounting for a plurality of the assemblies.
