<p>A miniature, multi-element electrical connector fabricated using micro-electro-mechanical systems technology is described. Shaped elastic cantilever elements ( 12 ) are formed on the female part ( 11 ) by deposition of conducting material on a surface that has been previously shaped to define a localised contact area and a sloped entrance face. The cantilevers ( 12 ) are then undercut. A similar process is used to construct a sloping face on the male part ( 10 ) for easy insertion. An etching process is used to fabricate an interlocking alignment system ( 20, 21, 22 ) on the two parts. Erosion of a convex corner is used to form a tapered entrance ( 22 ) to this alignment system.</p> |
