In a specific embodiment the spring device (124) for pressing the electrical contact (100) on the protrusion (118) of the flexible first layer (56) to the electrical contact (134) on the second layer (54) includes relief device (132) for allowing the flexible first layer (56) to deform during assembly of the improved electrical interconnect system for a flexible circuit. In an alternate specific embodiment the electrical contacts (100) on the protrusions (118) on the flexible first layer (56) and the corresponding electrical contacts (134) on the second layer (54) are coated with gold. In another alternate specific embodiment the improved electrical interconnect system includes an alignment apparatus coupled to the flexible first layer (56) and the second layer (54) and the spring device (124) for aligning the flexible first layer (56) with the second layer (54) and the spring device (124). The improved electrical interconnect system for a flexible circuit provides higher interconnect density, reduced cost and increased reliability compared to conventional interconnect systems.

    Abstract: A laminar power bus (26) is provided. The laminar power bus includes a plurality of interfacing sheets (32, 34, 36, 52, 54). Power is transferred from a power supply to a chip carrier via a first and second conductive sheets (34, 36) adhered to opposite sides of an insulating sheet (32). Apertures (48) through the second conductive sheet (36), and a concentrically aligned apertures (46) through the insulating sheet (32) permits depressions forming protrusions (38) in the first conductive sheet (34) to protrude through the second conductive sheet (36) and extend beyond the plane of the first conductive sheet (34). Additional depressions in the second conductive sheet (36) forming protrusions (42) extending away from the insulating sheet (52). The protrusions (38, 42) in the first and second conductive sheets (34, 36) are arranged in a pattern corresponding to a pattern of metal pads (40, 44) for receiving electrical power on the substrate (22) of the chip carrier. The laminar power bus is connected to the substrate (22) of the chip carrier.

    Abstract: Shaped contacts (40, 42) for interconnecting circuits or for use in an integrated circuit test probe are electroplated as integral parts of circuit traces (34) upon a stainless steel mandrel (10). A shaped, hardened steel indentation tool makes indentations (24a, 24b) of predetermined shape in the surface of the mandrel (10), which is provided with a pattern of dielectric, such as Teflon (12), or photoresist. Areas of the steel mandrel, including the indentations (24a, 24b), are electroplated with a pattern of conductive material (34, 36, 38), and a dielectric substrate is laminated to the conductive material. The circuit features formed by the indentations define raised contacts of a conical or pyramidal shape, having free ends with a small area that allows higher pressures to be applied to a surface against which the contacts are pressed. This enables the contacts to penetrate foreign materials, such as oxides, that may form on the surface of the pads, to which the contacts are to be connected to ensure a good contact without any need for wiping action.
