ABSTRACT:
A lead-frame connector and circuit module assembly allows fabrication of a pin-connector type circuit module without a circuit board substrate and discrete connector. One or more integrated circuit dies are attached to a metal lead-frame assembly and the die interconnects are wire-bonded to interconnect points on the lead-frame assembly. Connector pins formed on an extension of the lead-frame assembly provide an electrical interface to a mating connector without requiring a separate connector mounted on a substrate. An extension of the lead-frame assembly out of the circuit interconnect plane provides a multi-row pin connector in applications where a multi-row connector is needed.
