Anisotropically conductive sheet and connector

摘要

Disclosed herein are an anisotropically conductive sheet and a connector, which are each capable of easily achieving its accurate electrical connection to a target to be electrically connected even when the target is held and carried by a carrier or the like. The anisotropically conductive sheet comprises an anisotropically conductive functional region part exhibiting conductivity in its thickness-wise direction and an insulating peripheral region part located about the functional region part. The thickness of the functional region part is greater than that of the peripheral region part, and the upper surface of the functional region part is projected from the upper surface of the peripheral region part and connected to the upper surface of the peripheral region part with a difference in level. The difference in level makes a space for inserting a holding tip part of a carrier between the target to be electrically connected and the upper surface of the peripheral region part. The functional region part preferably comprises a plurality of conductive path-forming parts each extending in the thickness-wise direction of the sheet and arranged in a state insulated from one another by insulating parts. The anisotropically conductive sheet is suitable for use as a connector.
