Abstract:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a first electronic element to a second electronic element includes an insulating body and multiple conductors. The insulating body has multiple accommodating holes. Each conductor is accommodated in a corresponding accommodating hole. Each conductor has an elastic insulator and low melting point liquid metal wrapping a surface of the elastic insulator, such that a continuous conducting path is formed by the liquid metal between the first electronic element and the second electronic element.

Provided is a circuit board device in which printed wiring boards 11, 12 are connected to each other electrically using a anisotropic conductive member 15 disposed between the printed wiring boards 11, 12. The anisotropic conductive member 15 comprises: an insulating elastic resin material 16; fine metal wires 17 having a middle portion embedded within the insulating elastic resin material 16 so as to connect corresponding connecting terminals of the printed wiring boards 11, 12; and resin layers 18 exhibiting a flexural rigidity greater than that of the insulating elastic resin material. An assembly composed of the printed wiring boards 11, 12 and anisotropic conductive member 15 is curved. The resin layers are shape-retaining resins for maintaining the curvature of respective ones of principal surfaces of the anisotropic conductive member 15 made to conform to curvature of the printed wiring boards 11, 12.

Abstract:
A conductive elastomeric and mechanical pin and contact system for creation of a Elastromechanical Connector (1) that combines Mechanical Pins, an Insulator Array with Conductive Elastromeric Memory Material. This combination provides a low cost, high density, reliable, reusable electronic interconnect system. This system can be used in place of most connector systems in use today. It replaces any connector that uses pins and sockets and also supports the fine conductor pitch required in the semiconductor business like Ball Grid Array (BGA) Sockets and related devises. The inventive device includes mechanical pins (2), installed in an insulator (3), each mechanical pin is topped with conductive elastromeric compound (4). A mechanical pin is used for each connection point, the insulator positions the mechanical pins in an array pattern appropriate to the interconnection requirement. A conductive elastromeric compound is added to each metal pin to create the Z axis electrical coplanality to the mating unit. This connector will mate between printed circuit boards, packaged electronic assembles, BGAs or LGA type products, harnesses or cables without the need of solder or pins and sockets. Eliminating solder or pins and sockets reduces the pitch between connections. Mechanical pins are plated drawn, formed or machined conductive metal alloys. Insulator is molded or machined out of engineered plastic examples being, but not limited to, FR-4, Ultem®, Polyimide, Torlon®. Electrically conductive elastromeric compounds made up of flexible silicone and rubbers with conductive compounds added.
Abstract:
The terminal unit includes a main board, electronic components implemented on the main board, a sub-board covering above the electronic components and a frame member so disposed between the main board and the sub-board as to surround the electronic components. A flexible printed circuit covers an outer side of a wall portion of the frame member and is so wound around the frame member from upper and lower sides of the wall portion as to cover at least part of an inner side of the wall portion. A wiring pattern formed on the flexible printed circuit is electrically connected to the electronic components, and information to be protected that is stored on the electronic components becomes unreadable if the wiring pattern is cut off or short-circuited.
