ABSTRACT:
A flexible metallized polymer film cover provides environmental protection of electronic assemblies such as circuit card assemblies which are susceptible to external environmental factors which can impede functional performance and reduce reliability. The fully integrated cover provides this protection and also allows for circuit repair and rework in such a manner as to make cover removal and reseal economically attractive. The use of a metallized polymer film in the form of a two layer film, with two intimately bonded layers one being electrically insulative and the other metallic, provides environmental and electrical protection of the enclosed assembly. The variables of film materials and thicknesses allow for specific cover designs to be fabricated to meet various requirements for assembly protection. The flexible film nature of the cover allows for strict conformance to underlying devices and less dimension and weight for the assembly. The cover can also be easily and quickly removed from the assembly to allow repair of underlying devices. The cost of these films also makes replacement of the film cover attractive.
