  • Method and structure for conductive elastomeric pin arrays using conductive elastomeric interconnects and/or metal caps through a hole or an opening in a non-conductive medium
    Patent number: 10886653
    Abstract: An improved method and structure is provided for constructing elastomeric pin arrays using a non-conductive medium and compression limiters. Pin to pin of the same elastomeric material, pin to pin of similar elastomeric material, or pin to metal cap structure interconnects are constructed using an elastomeric connection through a non-conductive medium.
