<p>An electrical connector consists of a body of silicon elastomer (14,32) with a number of carbon fibres (12) extending through the body. The fibres are substantially parallel, very finely pitched and insulated from each other so that the connector conducts in the direction of the fibres with virtually no conduction in other directions. A very thin connector can be positioned between a chip and a substrate (Figure 2, not shown) to connect the contact pads on the chip to conductors on the substrate or between butting ends of multi-terminal connectors (Figure 3, not shown). The fibres may extend along the length of a thin tape (32, Figure 4) Accurate location of the connector is not required and it is virtually independent of thermal expansion and can be made gas tight due to the resilience of the silicon elastomer. <IMAGE></p> |
