    Abstract: An array of composite polymer-metal contact members adapted to form solder free electrical connections with a first circuit member. The contact members include a resilient polymeric base layer and an array of metalized traces printed on selected portions of the base layer. Conductive plating is applied to the metalized layer to create an array of conductive paths. The resilient polymeric base layer, the metalized layer, and the conductive plating have an aggregate spring constant sufficient to maintain distal portions of the contact members in a cantilevered configuration and to form a stable electrical connection between the distal portions and the first circuit member solely by compressive engagement.

    Abstract: A probe assembly that acts as a temporary interconnect between terminals on a circuit member and a test station. The probe assembly can include a base layer of a dielectric material printed onto a surface of a fixture. The surface of the fixture can have a plurality of cavities. A plurality of discrete contact members can be formed in the plurality of cavities in the fixture and coupled to the base layer. A plurality of conductive traces can be printed onto an exposed surface of the base layer and electrically coupled with proximal ends of one or more of the discrete contact members. A compliant layer can be deposited over the conductive traces and the proximal ends of the contact members. A protective layer can be deposited on the compliant layer such that when the probe assembly is removed from the fixture the distal ends of the contact members contact terminals on the circuit member and the conductive traces electrically couple the circuit member to a test station. Electrical devices on the probe assembly can communicate with the test station to provide adaptive testing.
