ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for providing three-dimensional carrier mounting of one or more electronic components. In accordance with one embodiment, the device mounting apparatus of the present invention includes an elastically resilient plastic substrate having component mounting surfaces in at least two dimensions. At least one press-fit component insertion cavity is disposed within the component mounting surfaces to provide compressive retention of the electronic component when press-fit into the cavity. Preferably, the cavity has a depth such that when the component is press-fit, it does not extend above the surface plane of the cavity. The insertion cavity is further characterized as including at least one conductive trace disposed on an inner surface of said insertion cavity and positioned on the insertion cavity surface such that the conductive trace contacts at least one lead of the electronic device retained within the insertion cavity.
