Abstract :
In microsystem design, size and weight reduction are not the sole considerations. Also important are strength, reliability, design flexibility, heat drain, and costs. Means for automatic insertion of devices and simplicity of interconnection should be provided. All these influences are illustrated in the discussion of the assembly of Microseal diodes and transistors, and small passive components, first into circuit cards, then into a subsystem.
