Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrical connectors for high-density electrical circuits and more particularly to an elastomeric contact pressure device for establishing electrical connections between circuits on adjacent printed circuit cards or printed circuit boards.
  • US-A-4,057,311 discloses an electrical board-to-board connector for coupling semiconductor module circuits on two spaced-apart cards. According to the teaching of this reference, two boards to be connected are mounted in different planes with edges overlapping. The connector body has multiple parallel connection elements sandwiched between the overlapping edges of the two adjacent boards. This approach requires connector leads to be placed on oppositely directed surfaces of the boards.
  • US-A-3,597,660 discloses an off-card connector for coupling high-density edge conductors on module circuit boards with input/output circuit conductors of a cabling network.
  • the overlays are formed on a flexible thin layer of polyimide material by printed circuit techniques and contact pressure is achieved through a resilient body under a pressure applying mechanism.
  • the connector should establish connections along the shortest possible distance, both in the wiring and in the connector itself.
  • the connector should further provide positive mechanical retention and positive spring action. For uniform spring action at multiple connector contacts, high rigidity and stiffness are required.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide for a multiple card-to-card connector having. a wiping action. More particularly it is a further object of the invention to provide for a truss displacement of the connector elements across the lands to be connected when applying a force upon mounting the connector body.
  • multiple preformed connector elements are shaped to a radius, truss or similar form between the lands to be connected.
  • the resilient layer carrying the connector elements has a force applied thereto by a fastening or clamping means, truss displacement of the connector elements across the lands takes place, thus assuring a reliable contact under all circumstances.
  • a layer of relatively high durometer material is attached to the other surface of the resilient layer to provide stiffness.
  • a high density electrical connector for multiple connection of closely spaced juxtapositioned lands on a first circuit board to corresponding lands on a second circuit board abutting said first circuit board.
  • the connector is characterized by a connector body having a first layer of relatively high stiffness, a second relatively resilient layer and a plurality of preformed connecting elements, said connector body being adapted to be mounted on one surface of said first and second circuit boards for establishing spring-loaded multiple connections so that each one of said preformed connecting elements wipes across associated lands to be connected on said first and second circuit boards.
  • FIGURE 1 there is shown a first printed circuit board 10 on which is mounted one or more semiconductor modules and associated connecting circuits, not shown.
  • the board 10 abuts a second printed circuit board 20 along common edges 25.
  • a land 30 Disposed on printed circuit board 10 is a land 30, which terminates circuitry and is used to connect the semiconductor modules to outside devices.
  • Circuit cards or boards carrying a highly integrated semiconductor module can have at least twenty lands per centimeter which are to be connected to corresponding lands on an abutting card or board. In spite of careful, automated manufacturing of the cards and attached lands to close tolerances, dimensional differences do occur and are compensated for by spring biasing as hereinbelow described.
  • land 40 Corresponding to land 30 on printed circuit board 10 is another land 40 disposed on printed circuit board 20.
  • Extruded copper 50 is placed directly above the lands 30 and 40 and forms an electrical conductor therebetween. It should be understood, however, that any electrically conductive material, such as platinum, aluminum and the like, can be used in place of copper 50. When oxidizable material such as copper is used, a plating process should be performed before connections are made. Gold or phosphor bronze plating of the copper lines 50 is preferred.
  • a relatively resilient material 70 such as low durometer rubber. Any suitable polymer, such as polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or the like with a durometer range of 60A-50D, can be used for this function.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • the resilient material acts as a spring to urge the cooper conductor 50 against the lands 30 and 40.
  • Bonded to the resilient material 70 is a more stiff, relatively high durometer rubber 80.
  • Any high durometer material such as styrene, acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene (ABS), polypropylene or the like with a durometer range greater than 50D, may be used as the relatively stiff material 80, whose function it is to distribute a force transversely along the length of the common edges 25 of the boards 10 and 20.
  • FIGURE 2 there is shown a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIGURE 1. It can be seen that a plurality of lands 30 can be interconnected with corresponding adjacent lands, not shown in FIGURE 2, and can be held in position by positive clamping action as hereinbelow further described.
  • the multiple connector elements 50 formed of copper conductors are all spring loaded due to their relationship to the resilient material 70 in which they are embedded.
  • the multiple connections between the multiple connector elements 50 and the lands 30 and 40 (FIGURE 1) on cards 10 and 20 are made under positive spring pressure. When the relatively rigid, stiff member 80 bears down on the more resilient material 70, a substantially uniform pressure is urged against each individual connector element 50.

  • the extrusion process can be performed by any suitable means well known in the art. By adding to this extrusion process coils of plated copper wire which are fed into the extrusion die, the wires 50 are bounded with the elastomer 70, thus providing the actual multiple connectors.
  • the relatively low durometer material 70 is bonded to the high durometer material 80 by heat in the preferred embodiment. It should be understood that any suitable means of bonding is acceptable and, in fact, the connection between the low durometer and the high durometer material need not even be permanent.
  • the extruded part 210 can be produced in various lengths and cut to the required engagement length. Clearance holes, not shown, are drilled or stamped in the connector body for mounting to an understructure.

  • the high durometer layer 80 is made to bear down upon low durometer layer 70, thus forcing the copper wires 50 against the lands 30 and 40 (FIGURE 1) of the abutting cards or boards 10 and 20 with uniform pressure applied at each individual connection.
  • the semiconductor module circuitry on card or board 10 is connected to the semiconductor module circuitry on card 20 through the connector device shown in detail in FIGURE 4, providing multiple connections between the lands 30 on card 10 and corresponding lands 40 on card 20.

  • a void 230 is originally manufactured in the low durometer material 70 for receiving the copper line or wire 50.
  • the copper wire 50 is placed in the low durometer material 70 so that the center or origin 270A of the wire 50 lies substantially in the plane defined by the upper level of the low durometer material 70.
  • the copper wire 50 has a cross-section which is generally circular but includes a triangular protrusion 240 culminating in an apex 245.
  • the apex 245 of the protrusion 240 is affixed to a bond line 248 formed between the resilient rubber layer 70 and the hard rubber layer 80, substantially parallel to the outer surfaces thereof.
