Abstract
An electrical component attachment for securing discrete components to a rigid circuit board without the use of plated-through holes. A unitary sheet member has a membrane portion and a flap portion. The membrane portion lies on one side of the circuit board. The flap portion wraps around an edge of the circuit board and is adhesively secured to the other side of the board. An electrical component is disposed between the flap portion and the board so as to be secured thereto by the flap portion. The sheet has conductive traces which contact the leads of the electrical component, providing electrical connection thereto. The sheet may have a tail onto which the traces extend for connection to external circuitry.
