FIBRILLATED PULTRUDED ELECTRICAL COMPONENT

摘要

An electrical component for making electrical contact with another component comprising a pultruded composite member having a plurality of small diameter conductive fibers in a polymer matrix said plurality of fibers being oriented in said matrix in a direction substantial ly parallel to the axial direction of said member and being continuous from one end of said member to the other to provide a plurality of potential electrical contacts at each end of said member at least one end of said member having a fibrillated brush-like structure of said plurality of fibers providing a densely distributed filament contact wherein the terminating ends of the fibers in the brush-like structure defines an eleetrically contacting surface. In a preferred embodiment the brush-like member is a laser fibrillated structure.
