<p>LAMINATED PROGRAMMABLE MICROSTRIP INTERCONNECTOR An electrical interconnector is formed of discrete laminate members. The basic configuration has a printed circuit substrate member interleaved between two ground plane members. Predetermined first and second printed circuit conductor patterns are on opposite sides of the printed circuit substrate, each interacting as a signal plane with the particular one of the ground plane members that is juxtaposed to it. The two patterns are interconnected by severable conductive means located at one or more predetermined locations across at least one edge of the substrate. Programmability is effected by severing one or more of the conductive means in the desired interconnection pattern. The basic configuration when arrayed with other similar basic configurations provides modular construction. Each basic configuration, hereinafter referred to sometimes as a section, in the array is separated from its adjacent section by another laminate member which is an insulator. The spacer member and its associated adjacent sections are configured to form a raceway, i.e. a duct or channel, for running insulated wire conductors which may be used, if desired, to interconnect predetermined ones of the printed circuit conductors associated with the interconnector. The interconnector is adapted to have the terminals of electrical devices mounted along the laminar edges of the interconnector.</p> |
