SOLDERLESS MODULE CONNECTOR FOR A HEARING ASSISTANCE DEVICE ASSEMBLY

摘要

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for solderless module connectors for hearing assistance devices. One aspect of the present subject matter includes a method of assembling a hearing assistance device. The method includes providing a structure (300) including a laser-direct structuring (LDS) portion (302, 306), and inserting a flexible universal circuit module (UCM, 200) having conductive surface traces and elastomeric backing (204) into the structure (300). The UCM (200) is electrically connected to the LDS portion (302, 306) using direct compression without the use of wires or solder.
