Abstract

An interposer with a spring on a surface of the interposer is disclosed. The spring may apply a force to a surface of a component adjacent to the interposer. The interposer may be secured to the surface by a fastener. The fastener may be offset from the center of the interposer. The fastener may be a fulcrum of a lever including the interposer and the spring. The spring may cause a portion of the interposer on the other side of the fastener from the spring to apply an increased amount of pressure to the surface to which the interposer is secured. A transesophageal exam ultrasound probe including an interposer is disclosed.

Description

Background technique [0001] Transesophageal examination (TEE) and catheter ultrasound probes can be designed with limited external dimensions to access areas of the interior of the body that are difficult to reach with traditional external ultrasound probes. For example, a TEE probe may be placed in the esophagus to perform echocardiography. In order to maintain limited external dimensions, the flex circuit may be coupled to a transducer array and / or other hardware located in the distal end of the endoscopic device. The flexible circuit can then be coupled to a second flexible circuit that can provide power and communicate with an ultrasound imaging system disposed at the proximal end of the device. The flexible circuit may provide a small electrical assembly within the confines of a probe designed to access internal regions of the body. [0002] Joining flex circuits can be difficult and time consuming because surface soldering of various joints may be required. Soldered j...
