  • Assembly with dual purpose connector
    Patent number: 6224393
    Abstract: An assembly (24) includes a front housing (26), a back housing (28), an electrical component (30) having a plurality of component conductive pads (60), a substrate (32) having a plurality of substrate conductive pads (54), a flex circuit (34) having a first plurality of flex conductive pads (42) and a second plurality of flex conductive pads (44), and a connector (36). The connector (36) is situated between the flex circuit (34) and the electrical component (30) for connecting the second plurality of flex conductive pads (44) to the plurality of component conductive pads (60). The first plurality of flex conductive pads (42) and the plurality of substrate conductive pads (54) are in alignment, and the connector (36) also compresses the assembly (24) to create an electrical connection between the first plurality of flex conductive pads (42) and the plurality of substrate conductive pads (54).

  • Method and apparatus for elastomer connection between a bonding shelf and a substrate
    Patent number: 6162064
    Abstract: An elastomer connection between a bonding shelf (20) and a substrate (28) includes a plurality of conductive runners (23) on a surface of the bonding shelf and a non-conductive surface (22) placed above the bonding shelf. The non-conductive surface has a plurality of areas exposing portions (21) of the plurality of conductive runners allowing an elastomer connector (24) to couple the exposed portions of the plurality of conductive runners to a corresponding plurality of conductive areas (29) on the substrate.

  • Component to substrate connection by runners and pads
    Patent number: 6118081
    Abstract: An electrical connection is formed between a plurality of substrate conductive runners (52) and a plurality of substrate conductive pads (54) arranged in an alternating pattern on a substrate (32) and a plurality of component conductive runners (48) and a plurality of component conductive pads (50) arranged in an alternating pattern on an electrical component (40) through a plurality of conductive pads (60) and conductive runners (58) arranged in an alternating pattern on a connector (34). A display assembly (26) advantageously employs the electrical connection.

  • Component to substrate connection and display assembly using same
    Patent number: 5971771
    Abstract: An electrical connection is formed between conductors (46, 48) on a substrate (36), and pads (42, 44) that are coupled to an electrical component. The conductive pads (42, 44) are arranged in two rows of oversize pads. Two corresponding rows of undersize conductors (46, 48) are electrically connected to the pads by a conductive elastomer (40). A display assembly (26) advantageously employs the electrical connection.
