Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conductive anisotropic elastic connector.

In recent years, conductive anisotropic elastic connectors have been used to connect terminals arranged in minute pitches, such as on liquid crystal panels. When designing the arrangement of terminals using such connectors, it has conventionally been necessary to take into account that the connectors are aligned in a straight line. This is because, if the connector is bent, it is difficult to insert the connector between the terminals, and the connector may be twisted between the terminals, resulting in poor contact.

Therefore, the present invention provides a conductive anisotropic elastic connector that can freely change its shape as needed and that can maintain its shape indefinitely even when released.
This invention aims to improve the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art.

To explain an embodiment, FIG. 1 is a plan view of a conductive anisotropic elastic connector 1 according to the present invention, in which a linear conductive member 2 is inserted into an insulating elastic body 3 at a minute interval in the axial direction. are distributed and located. The conductive member 2 is made of conductive rubber, carbon graphite fiber, stainless steel or other thin metal wire, and the insulating elastic body 3 is made of silicone rubber or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, a core material 4 is embedded in one side of the insulating elastic body 3 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction (lateral direction) while keeping it in a non-contact state with each conductive member 2. The core material 4 is made of a relatively soft material that is easily plastically deformed, such as lead, soft iron, brass, or aluminum. The arrangement of the core material 4 can be freely changed without departing from the scope of the utility model registration claims. For example, the core material 4 may be provided on both sides of the elastic body 4, or it may be completely molded as shown in the third figure so that the core material 4 is not exposed to the outside.

According to the electrically conductive anisotropic elastic connector 1 according to the present invention configured as described above, it can be kept in a certain shape due to the presence of the core material 4, and can be freely bent and kept in that shape as shown in the fourth figure. This makes it easy to handle and insert between terminals. Further, since there is no need for a guide member to maintain the shape of the connector as in the conventional case, the number of parts and assembly of the connection structure using the connector 1 can be simplified. Furthermore, since the terminals used in the connector 1 do not need to be arranged in a row, the degree of freedom in design can be relatively increased, and the practical effects are truly great.
