<p>A connection assembly (14) for a conductive ink flexible heater (10) is provided. The connection assembly (14) comprises a semiconductor pattern (18) printed on an electrically-nonconductive substrate (16). Conductive trace stripes (24) overlay the semiconductor pattern (18) and are in good electrical contact therewith. The conductive trace stripes (24) and semiconductor pattern (18) are sealed between the substrate (16) and a layer of electrically-insulating material (20). A connector mating piece (28) is affixed to the substrate (16) on the side facing away from the semiconductor pattern (18). A portion of the conductive trace stripes (24) is not covered by the sealing sheet (20) so as to provide electrical contact when the connection assembly (14) is inserted into a socket or connector housing (34).</p> |
