Compressible layer with integrated bridge in IC testing apparatus
Abstract:
An electrical contact that employs a common compressible layer for all contacts, wherein the compressible layer is fashioned with ducts that contain bridges within them. The bridges are formed of the compressible layer. This bridge serves as a compressible member for a first and second member in electrical contact with each other, and that interact with each other such that a compression force acted on the first and second members will cause them to maintain electrical contact while compressing the bridge. When the compressive force is released, the bridge, acting like a spring, expands thus pushing the first and second members apart, but still in electrical contact with each other.
