  • Elastomeric electrical contact
    Patent number: 7585173
    Abstract: An electrical contact is provided that includes an elastomeric body extending between a base portion and a mating end portion. The elastomeric body includes a ledge extending from the mating end portion to the base portion of the elastomeric body. The ledge is defined by a portion of the elastomeric body. An electrically conductive pad extends over at least a portion of the mating end portion. An electrically conductive trace is formed on a surface of the ledge. The electrically conductive trace extends from the mating end portion to the base portion of the elastomeric body. The electrically conductive trace is in electrical contact with the electrically conductive pad for electrically connecting the electrically conductive pad with an electrically conductive element engaging the base portion of the elastomeric body.
