Printed flexible circuit terminations and method of manufacture

摘要

Flexible contact terminals configured from printed strip circuits and usable with integrated circuit test fixtures. The termination circuits include printed conductive pathways formed on a flexible, multi-layered substrate. The conductive paths are three dimensionally tailored for impedance and resilience. Circuit processing includes steps to profile etch the conductive paths at the X, Y and Z-axis, especially end terminations. A support fixture contains the termination circuits to provide resilient electrical test terminations to circuit components supported to a resilient component support.
