  • Patent number: 6006981
    Abstract: A system (30) is provided for interconnecting a first component (10) having multiple first bonding sites (16) and a second component (12) having multiple second bonding sites (18). The system (30) includes a leadframe (40) coupled to the first component (10) and the second component (12) that advances from a first position (50) to a second position (52). A film tape carrier (32) advances a wirefilm (20) removably coupled to the film tape carrier (32) into the first position (50). The wirefilm (20) includes a substantially planar film (22) and multiple wire strands (14), each wire strand (14) having a first end (24) that contacts a first bonding site (16) and a second end (26) that contacts a second bonding site (18).
