<p>An anisotropic adhesive (32) for bonding electrical components (16, 18) includes a plurality of fusible, electrically conductive particles (36) dispersed uniformly throughout a thermoplastic resin (34). With the adhesive in a layer between two components to be joined, pressure is applied, along with heat sufficient to soften the resin, to expose particles positioned between opposed terminals whereby the exposed particles contact their associated terminals. Heat is again applied, in an amount sufficient to fuse the exposed conductive particles, thus to form a series of highly conductive mechanical bonds between pairs of opposed terminals of the joined components.</p> |
