Electronic thermometer with flex circuit location

摘要

An electronic thermometer configured for ease and accuracy in construction is disclosed. A probe (19) of the thermometer includes a deformable circuit (31) containing electronic components used to measure temperature and transmit signals to a calculating unit of the thermometer. A locating member (25, 27, 29) supported by the probe has a protruding nub (57) that engages an opening in the deformable circuit to pre-position the circuit prior to final fixation so that the electronic components are reliably positioned in manufacture.
