The compressible gasket 15 is disposed in-between the casing 10 of the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal printed circuit board 5 to abut these and to surround the sound inlet 20 and the aperture 11. Thereby, the sound path to the CSP packaged MEMS microphone 8 is acoustically sealed from the interior of the mobile terminal.

- the MEMS microphone of the present embodiment lacks the semiconductor substrate 12 residing within the CSP MEMS microphone assembly of FIG. 1. Advantages of the present embodiment are its lower parts count and cost. Furthermore, the present MEMS microphone may have lower overall height. A MEMS microphone may have a height of only 400 ⁇ m, and a standard PCB has a thickness of 900 ⁇ m. However, if the PCB is a flex print, the height of the MEMS microphone may be deciding for the overall height of the assembly.

- the first surface of an intermediate carrier 1 additionally comprises a second set of electrically conductive bumps 3 that are solderable to mating electrical terminals placed on the second or lower side of a mobile terminal printed circuit board 5 as illustrated in FIG. Ia and b. Electrical and mechanical contact is thereby established between the printed circuit board 5 and the intermediate carrier 1.

- the first surface of an intermediate carrier 1 additionally comprises a peripherally extending solder ring 2 that is operative to acoustically seal the MEMS transducer element 13 from the interior space of the mobile terminal situated below the printed circuit board 5.
- the solder ring 2 may advantageously also function to EMC shield the MEMS transducer element 13 for example by connecting the solder ring 2 to a suitable electrical potential such as ground potential.
- An alternative to the second embodiment is one, wherein the indentation 14 is instead provided in the PCB 5, whereby the part 13 is simply provided above or also within the indentation in the PCB 5. This further reduces the height of the assembly.
- Fig. 3a and 3b illustrate a third embodiment, in which the microphone 8 is positioned within the indentation 11 of the PCB 5, which does now not extend all the way through the PCB 5 for forming a through-going aperture.
- the PCB 5 may have soldering pads 28 arranged at a bottom or lower surface 29 of the aperture or indentation 11.
- the PCB 5 may be a multilayer PCB, where the surface 29 is a surface of an internal layer of the PCB 5.
- additional electronic components may be provided in the indentation 11, such as on the layer 29, by providing additional bumps/pads 28 for attachment of such components.
- a lower layer or the lower surface of the PCB 5 may be used therefore as may vias provided around the exposed surface 29 in the same manner as is described in relation to FIG. 1.
- the microphone assembly comprising the microphone 8, the circuit 16 as well as the substrate 12, in this embodiment having the hole 14 for use by the microphone 8, is illustrated attached to and separated from the PCB 5. It is seen that the PCB and substrate 12 have mating contacts or terminals 3 and 3' for carrying signals there between as well as mating encircling, conducting paths 2 and 2' for providing an electromagnetic sealing of the circuit 16 from the surroundings.
- the overall height of the microphone 8 and circuit 16 is sufficiently low for them to not extend beyond the upper surface of the PCB 5 in order for them to be protected from shear forces exerted between the PCB 5 and the casing 10, which may come about when handling or dropping the telephone. Such forces are taken up by the gasket 15 with no damage to the other elements.
