Abstract
A method and system for packaging electronics with an electronic card rack of radial panels, an outer casing, a stabilizing ring, and a flex-circuit interconnect, whereby electronic cards inserted into the sectors formed by the radial panels do not carry the structural load. The card-mounted devices are optimally oriented for set back forces, and minimal potting and/or structural foam is required, if any. The present invention provides a lightweight, highly serviceable assembly that is relatively less expensive to produce, test and rework compared with potted assemblies.
