ASSEMBLY METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICALLY STABLE CONNECTORS

摘要

Assembly methods and apparatus for electrically stable connectors are described herein where a conductive wire assembly generally comprises an insulative substrate having a length, one or more conductive elements formed along a first direction upon the substrate, an insulative coverlay formed upon the one or more conductive elements, and at least one opening or window defined through the insulative coverlay exposing a portion of the one or more conductive elements. A conductive coating is formed upon the insulative coverlay such that the conductive coating is in contact with the portion of the one or more conductive elements through the at least one opening or window and the conductive coating may have at least one region removed along a second direction in proximity to the at least one opening or window such that one or more conductive pads are formed and are electrically isolated from a remainder of the conductive coating.

1. A method of forming a conductive flat wire, comprising:
securing one or more conductive elements adjacent to one another along a first direction, each of the one or more conductive elements having an insulating layer; selectively forming at least one opening or window through the insulating layer to expose a portion of the one or more conductive elements; and forming a conductive coating upon the insulating layer.
