Abstract

See full text

A steam and liquid sterilizable assembly of electrical and optical fiber cables within a sealed polymer housing which features sealed joints and conductive traces between and through components. At least one optical fiber cable is sealed into a metal ferrule by an organic resin and the ferrule then sealed by soldering into a laminated, multilayer organic polymer disc or board. At least one electrical cable is soldered to one surface of the disc or board to a conductive trace which connects through and between the layers of the disc or board to a conductive electrical contact on the opposite surface of the disc or board. The disc or board with the optical and electrical contacts is embedded in a molded polymer housing. The assembly is useful in endoscopy applications.
