Coplanar mounting member for a MEM sensor

Abstract

A three axes MEM accelerometer system includes three MEM accelerometer sensors and a MEM sensor board including a MEM sensor control circuit for the accelerometer sensors. The accelerometer sensors are mounted mutually orthogonally. At least two coplanar mounting members have a first surface coplanar with a connection pad on the surface of the sensor board. A second surface is inclined to the surface of the board for mounting a MEM accelerometer sensor. An electrical conductor array interconnects the MEM accelerometer sensor with the connection pad on the board.
