compressible conductive interface

摘要

A compressible conductive interface provides electrical continuity between a first group of contacts and a second group of contacts in the presence of a compression force applied between the groups of contacts. An insulating housing in the compressible conductive interface has one or more channels and a matrix of apertures. Compressible bars in the compressible conductive interface each have a pair of opposing sides, a base and a nose and are positioned in the channels so that the nose of the compressible bar is at a bottom of the channel into which the compressible bar is positioned. A series of conductive elements, each having a conductive frame and a conductive slider, are also included in the compressible conductive interface. Each conductive element of the compressible conductive interface has a neutral state and a loaded state.
