Heat seal connector with integral parting agent

摘要

A heat seal connector (100) includes a flexible substrate (105), interconnects (110) disposed thereon, and a parting agent (115) contiguous with the flexible substrate (105) for preventing the heat seal connector (100) from adhering to a heating platen (505) applied thereto, wherein the heating platen (505) does not include a parting agent for preventing the heat seal connector (100) from adhering to the healing platen (505). The heat seal connector (100) is bonded to first and second electronic circuits (415, 420) during application of the heating platen (505) such that the interconnects (110) electrically couple conductive pads (417) formed on the first electronic circuit (415) to corresponding conductive pads (425) formed on the second electronic circuit (420).
