ABSTRACT:
A door trim panel assembly is comprised of a rigid trim panel having a decorative trim material attached on the inner face thereof. A sheet of flexible plastic or other electrically non-conductive material is imprinted with foil conductor strips to comprise a printed electrical circuit and is attached to the outer face of the rigid trim panel. The flexible plastic sheet is coextensive in size with the rigid trim panel so that the plastic sheet will provide a vapor barrier. The rigid door trim panel is comprised of plastic or hardboard or some other dielectric material so that the foil conductor strips are electrically insulated from one another by the rigid trim panel. The flexible plastic sheet insulates the foil conductor strips from the metal of the door inner panel. The foil conductor strips have terminal devices at the ends thereof for connection to the various electrical devices mounted in the door cavity and to various switches which are mounted on the trim panel assembly for operating the electric windows and other electric devices. The door trim panel assembly may be mounted on the door either manually by an assembly worker or robotically.
