Abstract
A method for making an electrical circuit comprises the steps of: forming a rigid printed circuit board having a plurality of electrical contacts on at least one surface; forming a multilayer flexible circuit board having a plurality of electrical components on at least one surface, and further having a bifurcated area along one edge; forming electrode pads on the inner surfaces of the bifurcated area of the flexible circuit board that are alignable respectively with the electrical contacts on the rigid circuit board when the bifurcated area is spread apart by about 180°; spreading the bifurcated area apart and aligning the electrode pads respectively with the electrical contacts; and forming an electrical connection between the electrode pads and the electrical contacts.
