ABSTRACT:
Battery mounting apparatuses, electronic devices, and methods of forming electrical connections are described. In one implementation, a flexible circuit substrate has an area within which an electrical component, e.g. a thin-profile battery terminal housing member, is to be adhered. A conductive contact node pattern is disposed within the area and sized to be conductively adhered with the component. In one aspect, the conductive contact node pattern comprises an outer conductive node on the substrate at least a portion of which is positioned within the outermost 25% of the area. An electrical component is conductively bonded with the contact node pattern and encapsulating material is provided over and underneath the component. In a preferred aspect, the substrate and electrical component are vacuum processed sufficiently to redistribute the encapsulating material under the component. The positioning of the contact node pattern provides sufficient support during vacuum processing such that any tendency of the substrate to become lodged against the component is reduced, if not eliminated.
