<p>An apparatus and method for providing proper electrical contact between corresponding interconnect pads (61, 85) of a print cartridge (24, 25, 26 or 27) and a print carriage (30) are disclosed. A flexible insulating tape (87) with interconnect pads (85) is supported by an elastomeric compensator (94) that has columns (114) with hemispherical domes on the side (115) of the elastomeric compensator (94) facing the tape (87) and a flat surface (118) on the other side. The flat surface (118) of the elastomeric compensator (94) is supported by a gimbal plate (102) which, in turn, is supported by a spring (106).</p> |
