Electrical device employing a flat flexible circuit

摘要

An electrical connector assembly includes a housing fabricated of a first metal material and having at least one integral pin projecting from a face thereof. A flat flexible circuit is mounted against the face of the housing and includes a ground plane on a side thereof facing the housing. The circuit has a hole for receiving the integral pin of the housing. The ground plane is of a second metal material different from that of the housing. An omni-directional conductive adhesive is deposited on the ground plane over the area of the hole to expand the conductive interface between the metal housing and the metal ground plane. Preferably, the conductive adhesive includes abrasive grain-like particles.
