ABSTRACT:
A method of producing an overmolded electronic assembly including a circuit board and a flexible circuit interconnect by fixturing the assembly in a mold cavity such that a portion of the flexible circuit protrudes from the mold, and providing a compressible elastomeric interface between the mold and the flexible circuit to seal off the mold cavity and protect the flexible circuit from damage due to the clamping force of the mold. The portion of the flexible circuit within the mold cavity is pre-coated with a material that ensures good adhesion with the molding compound, and a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the portion of the flexible circuit that protrudes from the mold protects the flexible circuit from damage due to thermal conduction from the mold and mold compound.
