Coplanar mounting member for a MEM sensor
View Patent ↗A coplanar mounting member for a MEM sensor includes a first surface coplanar with a connection pad on the surface of a MEM sensor board containing the MEM sensor control circuit; a second surface inclined to the surface of the board for mounting a MEM sensor and an electrical conductor array for interconnecting the MEM sensor with the connection pad on the board.
1. A coplanar mounting member for a MEM sensor, comprising: a first surface coplanar with a connection pad on the surface of a MEM sensor board containing the MEM sensor control circuit; a second surface inclined at approximately 90° to said surface of said board for mounting a MEM sensor; and an electrical conductor array for interconnecting the MEM sensor with the connection pad on the board.
2. The coplanar mounting member of claim 1 in which said MEM sensor is an inertial sensor.
3. The coplanar mounting member of claim 2 in which said MEM sensor is a gyroscope sensor.
4. The coplanar mounting member of claim 2 in which said MEM sensor is an accelerometer.
5. The coplanar mounting member of claim 1 in which said sensor board includes an ASIC.
6. The coplanar mounting member of claim 1 in which the MEM sensor is integral with said second surface.
7. A MEM sensor system comprising:
a sensor circuit board including at least one connection pad;
a mounting member including a first surface on and co-planar with the connection pad, and a second surface inclined at approximately 90° with respect to the first surface; and
a MEM sensor mounted to the second surface of the mounting member,
the mounting member including electrical conductors interconnecting the MEM sensor with the connection pad.
