Hermetically sealed housing having a flex tape electrical connector

摘要

Disclosed is a hermetically sealed housing assembly for protecting electrical equipment. The housing assembly includes a hermetically sealed housing member having an exterior wall and an interior region for containing the electrical equipment. A flex tape electrical signal conductor extends through an opening in the exterior wall, and transmits electrical signals between the electrical equipment in the interior region and electrical components in a region exterior to the housing member. The flex tape signal conductor is hermetically sealed to the exterior wall of the housing member at the opening to maintain the integrity of the hermetic seal of the housing member even after temperature-cycling for a period of time.
