ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting a focal plane array. The assembly includes a fixture of thermally conductive material having a first substantially planar surface and a second surface. The fixture is attached to the focal plane array at the first surface and to a frame of a housing at the second surface thereof. In a specific embodiment, the assembly further includes a mechanism for aligning the fixture, with the attached array, to the frame and at least one flexible connector for electrically connecting the focal plane array to a circuit board disposed within the housing. In the illustrative embodiment, the alignment mechanism includes a clocking slot in the second surface of the fixture which is adapted to engage a protrusion on the frame.
