摘要： An electrical interconnect system is provided including a substrate and an array of electrical contacts held in the substrate. Each of the electrical contacts includes a nonconductive elastomeric element and an associated conductive element. The nonconductive element has opposite ends that are disposed beyond respective opposite sides of the substrate. The conductive element includes a body having opposite ends that are disposed exteriorly of the respective opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element. The opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element resiliently press against the respective opposite ends of the conductive element when a force is applied to the electrical contact.

摘要： An electrical connector includes an insulator holding a plurality of contacts in an array corresponding to an array of pads on an electronic device. At least one shorting path electrically connects at least two of the contacts in the array. The insulator includes a plurality of apertures therethrough, with each aperture defining a contact location on the insulator. The insulator includes a channel formed between at least two contact locations. The channel defines a location of a shorting path and the shorting path is at least partially within the insulator.

摘要： A connector for board-to-board and board to device interconnect applications includes a plurality of conductive elastomeric columnar contacts surrounded by respective insulative support columns. The elastomeric columnar contacts extend through holes in an insulative subtrate. The insulative support columns have opposing end surfaces disposed on opposite sides of a substrate and end surfaces of the columnar contacts are located at a distance from the substrate slightly greater than the distance between the substrate and the support column end surfaces. Insulative intermediate columns serve a mechanical stops that resist further compression of the elastomeric contacts and the support columns when the connector is subjected to excessive axial compressive forces. The intermediate columns have opposing end surfaces on opposing sides of the substrate that are spaced from the substrate a distance less than the support column end surfaces.

摘要： A connector for board-to-board or board-to-socket interconnect applications includes a plurality of conductive elastomeric columnar contacts surrounded by an insulative body. In one embodiment employed in board-to-board applications, the columnar contacts are substantially longer than wide to facilitate mounting of components between opposed boards. The conductive columnar contacts extend slightly beyond the surfaces of the insulative body. The body may include integral raised collars that surround opposing ends of the conductive columnar contacts and at least one stop flange integral with the body that limits overstress on tips of the conductive columnar contacts.

摘要： A connector for board-to-board and board-to-device interconnect applications includes a plurality of conductive elastomeric columnar contacts arranged in a contact array and retained in a first plurality of openings in an insulative substrate and a plurality of stops retained in a second plurality of openings in the insulative substrate. The stops are dispersed among the contacts of the contact array or positioned on the periphery of the contact array and located in non-abutting relation with respect to adjacent contacts. The contacts and the stops have opposing end surfaces and the end surfaces of the contacts are located a greater distance from the substrate than the end surfaces of the stops such that the stops limit the compression of the elastomeric contacts when the connector is disposed in its intended mounting orientation.
