Abstract: The interconnection device includes a conductive housing (102) and a number of contacts that are insulated from the conductive housing. This configuration may provide shielding to the number of contacts (120) from outside sources of electro-magnetic interference. Further, a number of conductive ribs (108) may be provided between adjacent contacts, thereby shielding the contacts from cross-talk interference between adjacent contacts. Finally, the impedance of each contact in the interconnection device may be controlled to provide a stable bandpass, and may be programmable to match, or correct for, the input impedance of a corresponding device.

Abstract: The method is particularly intended for the manufacture of an electrical connector housing mounting connector elements to be engaged by corresponding contacts of an integrated circuit device. The method includes the steps of providing a block (14) made of an appropriate metarial such as a polyamide. The block provided has a relatively thin wall (32) (around 3.8 mm) which is defined by two oppositely facing surfaces (34, 34'). A trough (40), generally conforming in size and shape to the size and shape of the contact array of the integrated circuit, is formed in at least one of the two oppositely facing, spaced surfaces defining the wall. Such a trough is intended to receive a connector element support. In manufacturing the housing for mounting the connector elements, each trough is filled with a rod (46), generally conforming in cross-section to a cross-section of the trough. The rod can be made of the same material as the block. With the rod or rods received within their corresponding troughs, a plurality of generally parallel slots (36) are laser machined in the block. The slots are positioned to intersect, and be closely spaced along, each trough.

Abstract: A connector for electrically interconnecting a lead of a device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead. The apparatus may include a contact engagable by the lead and further engagable by the spaced terminal. An elastomeric element is provided to bias the contact in an original position. As the contact is engaged by the lead, the elastomeric element may deform to permit movement of the contact. It is contemplated that the elastomeric element may be shaped, relative to the contact, to provide at least one spatial relief region between the elastomeric element and the contact. Further, it is contemplated that the elastomeric element may have one or more cavities formed therein to provide at least one spatial relief region. Finally, it is contemplated that the contact housing may be designed to provide at least one spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element. Accordingly, as a force to applied to the contact via a lead or the like, the elastomeric element may become deformed, causing a portion of the deformed elastomeric element to extend at least partially into the at least one spatial relief region. It has been found that by providing even a modest spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element, the lifetime of the elastomeric element may be substantially increased.
