Definitions
- This invention relates to a high-density planar electrical contact array, which is used for electrical signal transmission between a planar circuit, such as a printed circuit board, and other electrical devices such as a second printed circuit board.
- One planar circuit such as a printed circuit board to another circuit board or integrated circuit lead frame, multi-chip module, tape automated bonding devices or other device that utilizes electrical contacts.
- Various connector and contact devices have been used in the past to accomplish this.
- One existing method utilizes individual formed metal contacts imbedded in an insulative housing that separates each contact from adjacent contacts with each contact being directly connected to the other device or through a wire or flexible circuit board to another device.
- Another method utilizes individual wires inserted into a comb-like insulative housing which separates each wire from adjacent wires thus forming individual contacts out of the wire itself.
- Yet another method utilizes a single or multiplicity of parallel lines on a printed circuit, usually a flexible printed circuit, and uses these lines as contacts by mating them directly to a device and applying pressure via an elastomeric material and/or clamping device.
- this last method does not allow good Z axis movement of an individual contact without affecting adjacent contacts unless the insulative planar substrate material is extremely thin, between .001 inch and .003 inch thick, or each conductor must have insulative layer removed from between each conductor.
- the first method involves a very thin substrate and limits the use of multiple layered and controlled impedance constructions and must usually require some other means of mechanical support such as an elastomeric material behind the conductors and substrate.
- the second method i.e., removing the insulative substrate material allows lateral or X or Y axis movement which can result in misalignment to the device being mated to or the shorting of adjacent conductor pads.
- This invention provides a high-density planar contact array capable of interconnecting various electronic devices using a pad to pad approach or pad to pin, and which is capable of accommodating non-coplanarity in the Z axis of printed circuit boards but which still maintains good electrical contact.
- the array comprises a flat, flexible insulative substrate sheet that has a plurality of parallel conductive lines or an array of circles or polygons of which each has had insulative material surrounding or on at least two sides of the conductive lines or polygons removed in the Z axis.
- the insulative material is preferably removed in such a way as to create a generally trapezoid shape having a greater length side opposite the conductor when viewed through a cross-section of the X or Y axis. This trapezoid shape allows free Z axis motion while limiting X and Y axis motion.
- Various materials and thicknesses of conductor and substrate materials may be used as well as various supportive material layers to best fit the electrical and mechanical requirements in an application.
- planar contact array is meant any one of several planar devices such as a printed circuit board, flexible printed circuit board, ribbon cable, or flat conductor cables.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a planar contact array of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a cutaway view of the array of Figure 1 taken along lines 2-2 of Figure 1 and show the trapezoidal shapes remaining after insulative substrate material is cutaway to form windows through the substrate.
- Figure 3 is a view from the bottom of a section of the array of Figure 1.
- Figure 4 shows the top view of an array of the invention in which electrical circuits culminate in floating electrical contact pads.
- Figure 5 is an enlargement of the circled portion of Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a side view taken along lines 6-6 of Figure 5.
- a planar strip of insulation 10 having a plurality of parallel conductors 11 on one surface of the flexible strip is depicted.
- adjacent parallel conductors are exposed on one side of the strip (shown in Figures 2 and 3); and the insulation on the opposite side forms a quadrilateral trapezoid cross-section 12 with the conductor at the narrowest length of the trapezoid.
- the adjacent bases of the longer parallel length of the trapezoid do not abut, and form an opening at 13 and 13 1 through the strip of insulation.
- Figure 5 is an enlargement of the circular area shown in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a cutaway view along lines 6-6 of Figure 5 and showsthe rectangular configuration of one embodiment.
- Very high density conductor transmission cables can be used as the array.
- very fine lines of conductive material of 0.001 to 0.005 inches wide and 0.0005 to 0.0015 inches thick can be used, and can be spaced parallel apart at a spacing of 0.002 inches between centers.
- the cable can be as thin as .001 inches.
- One application for the cable array is in a connector assembly for connecting one printed circuit board to another printed circuit board having one end of the cable array bonded by ultrasonic welding, solder or conductive glue to make electrical contact between at least one conductive trace of the cable array and at least one conductive trace of the first printed circuit board (mother board) while the opposite end of the cable array contacts and is affixed to another printed circuit board.
