    Abstract: A curable adhesive composition is provided which comprises an epoxy terminated silane. A thin profile battery and a substrate to which the thin profile battery is to be conductively connected are also provided. The curable adhesive composition is interposed between the thin profile battery and the substrate. It is cured into an electrically conductive bond electrically interconnecting the battery and the substrate. In another aspect, the invention includes a method of conductively interconnecting electronic components using a curable adhesive composition which comprises an epoxy terminated silane. The invention in another aspect includes interposing a curable epoxy composition between first and second electrically conductive components to be electrically interconnected. At least one of the components comprises a metal surface with which the curable epoxy is to electrically connect. The epoxy is cured into an electrically conductive bond electrically interconnecting the first and second components. The epoxy has an effective metal surface wetting concentration of silane to form a cured electrical interconnection having a resistance through said metal surface of less than or equal to about 0.3 ohm-cm.sup.2.

    Abstract: An improved battery, an improved battery contact assembly and an improved method for attaching a battery to a substrate are provided. The battery includes a housing and a cover for attachment to the housing by crimping. During the crimping process a portion of the housing is bent over a portion of the cover such that a portion of the housing is substantially co-planar with a portion of the cover. Thus the two co-planar surfaces provide the positive and negative contact surfaces of the battery on a single side of the battery. The receiving portion of the contact assembly includes a substrate having a pair of contacts formed thereon. The contacts are shaped and sized to match the contact surfaces of the battery. The battery is attached to the substrate and traces using an electrically conducting adhesive.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for selectively activating a secondary power source, such as a backup battery, for an electronic device, such as dynamic RAM. A connector is described in conjunction with a circuit board including a first contact coupled to the backup battery, and a second contact coupled to the corresponding input for backup power associated with an electronic device. In this state, an open circuit is presented such that the battery is isolated from the electronic device. A socket is described for cooperating with the connector, which includes mating contacts corresponding to the first and second contacts previously described, and a shunt for establishing electrical continuity between these mating contacts. In this manner, a completed circuit is established between the battery and the electronic device when the socket is attached. A bypass connection is also described for maintaining connection between the battery and the electronic device independent of the socket, so that the circuit board may later be removed without threatening loss of accumulated memory contents.
