  • Conductive elastomeric contact system
    Patent number: 6796810
    Abstract: A connector for board-to-board or board-to-socket interconnect applications includes a plurality of conductive elastomeric columnar contacts surrounded by an insulative body. In one embodiment employed in board-to-board applications, the columnar contacts are substantially longer than wide to facilitate mounting of components between opposed boards. The conductive columnar contacts extend slightly beyond the surfaces of the insulative body. The body may include integral raised collars that surround opposing ends of the conductive columnar contacts and at least one stop flange integral with the body that limits overstress on tips of the conductive columnar contacts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 28, 2004
    Assignee: Tyco Electronics Corporation
    Inventors: Stephen D. DelPrete, Jeffrey W. Mason, Michael L. Kirkman, Steven B. Wakefield, William R. Arsenault, Shiraz Sameja, Peter D. Wapenski, Arthur G. Michaud
