Abstract
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are configured with an athermalized mounting suitable for securing and positioning and the PCBs within an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The PCBs include integrated circuit (IC) components, such as accelerometers and/or gyroscopes, which require relative positional stability within the IMU environment in order to provide accurate results. The athermalized mounting configuration of the PCB enables the PCBs to experience thermal expansion within the IMU without causing significant displacement of the IC relative to the IMU environment.
