Abstract:
A compliant contact pin contactor card method for making is provided. The compliant contact pin assembly includes a contact pin formed from a portion of a substrate with the contact pin compliantly held suspended within the substrate by a compliant coupling structure. The suspension within the substrate results in a compliant deflection orthogonal to the plane of the substrate. The contact pin assembly is formed by generally thinning the substrate around the contact pin location and then specifically thinning the substrate immediately around the contact pin location for forming a void. The contact pin is compliantly coupled, in one embodiment by compliant coupling material, and in another embodiment by compliantly flexible portions of the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for assembling an electronic assembly using an anisotropic conducting membrane (ACM) as a component interconnect and a substrate embossed with placement cavities or a positional fixture to facilitate component placement on the substrate in the electronic assembly. The fixture may comprise multiple layers of interconnects to improve routing density for the electronic assembly enclosed in a housing. An alignment chain may be used to monitor positional and contact integrity of the ACM interfaced components in a complex assembly. The systems and methods allow components to be detached for reuse. Interconnection elements or conduction pathways at the components can be used to interconnect a plurality of neighboring substrates over the ACM layers into a stacked electronic assembly.
