COMPOSITE LAMINATE HAVING A FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT BRIDGE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

In a composite component having a laminate body, a conductive layer and a connector can be joined to one another using an intermediate flexible circuit. Among other things, this flexible circuit places the conductive layer and the connector in electrical communication with one another. Furthermore, during the forming process and because of its thinness, the flexible circuit integrates well with the layers of the laminate body and can accommodates some spatial displacement of the connector and conductive material relative to one another.
