A launch-protected electronic assembly including a printed circuit board having several conductor paths. An electronic component is provided that is secured to the printed circuit board. The electronic component has several electrical connections each contacting a corresponding conductor path. The assembly further includes a support and at least one of a flexible adhesive layer and a dot-shaped flexible adhesive location connecting the printed circuit board to the support.

Launch-protected electronic assembly

An apparatus for screen printing on a thin, curved steel hybrid board includes a receiving frame having a nest for seating the board therein; and a magnet accommodated in the receiving frame for maintaining the board in a flattened state during the screen printing operation.

Method and apparatus for screen printing

A method of pre-treating steel-hybrid circuit board substrates or carrier plates before the application of coatings that are to be burnt in or fired. In prior art steel-hybrid circuit boards of this type, the burning-in of the coatings in a kiln produces undesirable warping of the circuit boards due to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials employed for the coatings and for the carrier plates, unless relatively thick steel-hybrid circuit board carrier plates are employed. This warping is avoided, while still permitting the use of steel hybrid circuit boards of a lesser thickness, by pre-treating the steel-hybrid circuit board carrier plates to provide same with a mechanical pre-stress causing a defined curvature which compensates for the warping of the circuit board to be expected during burn-in.
