5.3 Tail Attachment
The MicroJoystick is designed for easy attachment of flexible-circuit tails. Interlink Electronics
can supply flexible-circuit tails designed for use with the MicroJoysticks or can supply
MicroJoysticks with tails attached. Electrical connections between the MicroJoystick and a
flexible-circuit tail are typically made using conductive adhesives. Before designing an attachment
method for the MicroJoystick’s tail, please carefully review this section.
Flexible-Circuit Tail
Interlink Electronics can supply custom-designed flexible-circuit tails in a variety of materials
(e.g., polyester, polyimide, etc.). If you wish to fabricate your own tail, Figure 6 below illustrates
a standard flexible-circuit tail used by Interlink Electronics.
