  • Patent number: 10262940
    Abstract: An electric connector includes a metal interconnect, a first vertical element and a second vertical element. The metal interconnect includes a plurality of horizontal elements. The first vertical element physically connects to a top surface of each of the horizontal elements. The second vertical element physically connects to a bottom surface of each of the horizontal elements, and the second vertical element misaligns the first vertical element. The present invention also provides an electric connector including a first vertical element and a second vertical element. The first vertical element physically connects to a top surface of a horizontal element. The second vertical element physically connects to a bottom surface of the horizontal element, and the second vertical element misaligns the first vertical element, wherein the first vertical element or the horizontal element is burned out before the second vertical element is burned out while a voltage is applied.
