ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT DEVICE

摘要

An electrical interconnect device includes a substrate and an array of conductive elastomeric columns held by the substrate each having opposite first and second ends and being internally conductive between the first and second ends. A shield is mounted exterior of the first ends of the elastomeric columns. The shield has an insulative carrier holding an array of conductive pads. The conductive pads have inner surfaces and outer surfaces where the inner surfaces of the conductive pads engage the first ends of corresponding elastomeric columns and where the outer surfaces are configured to engage corresponding mating contacts of an electrical component. The outer surfaces of the conductive pads are non-coplanar such that the conductive pads have different heights. Optionally, the conductive pads may have different thicknesses above the carrier.

1. An electrical interconnect device comprising:
a substrate having opposite first and second outer surfaces; an array of conductive elastomeric columns held by the substrate, each of the elastomeric columns having opposite first and second ends, the elastomeric columns being internally conductive between the first and second ends; and a shield mounted exterior of the first ends of the elastomeric columns, the shield having an insulative carrier holding an array of conductive pads arranged in a complementary pattern as the array of elastomeric columns, the conductive pads having inner surfaces and outer surfaces, the inner surfaces of the conductive pads engaging the first ends of corresponding elastomeric columns, the outer surfaces being configured to engage corresponding mating contacts of an electrical component; wherein the outer surfaces of the conductive pads are non-coplanar such that the conductive pads have different heights.
