Abstract: An electrical connection of a transfer station (100) releasably, repeatably electrically couples with respect to a matching connection of a portable cartridge (40). A substrate (50) in the portable cartridge has electrical contacts (51) on a facing surface. In the transfer station, a matching circuitized flexible substrate (136) has electrical contacts (141) on a facing surface thereof, which are arranged to match the portable cartridge electrical contacts when in a face-to-face relationship. An elastomeric compression element (132), at the rear of the matching substrate, has individual protruding compression members contacting the rear surface and registered with corresponding individual electrical contacts. Elongated electrical contacts are registered with two adjacent individual compression members. A loader engages the portable cartridge, registering the cartridge substrate contacts in face-to-face relation with the matching flexible substrate electrical contacts, and exerting a normal force to the cartridge to compress the compression element and create non-wiping contact between the facing electrical contacts.

Abstract translation: 传送站（100）的电连接可释放地相对于便携式盒（40）的匹配连接重复地电耦合。 便携式墨盒中的基底（50）在相对表面上具有电触点（51）。 在传送站中，匹配的电路化柔性基板（136）在其相对表面上具有电触头（141），它们在面对面的关系中被布置成与便携式墨盒电触头匹配。 在匹配基板的后部的弹性体压缩元件（132）具有与后表面接触并与相应的单个电触点对齐的单独的突出的压缩构件。 细长的电触点与两个相邻的单个压缩构件对齐。 装载机接合便携式盒式磁带，将盒式基板触点与匹配的柔性基板电触点面对面地对准，并向盒施加法向力以压缩压缩元件，并在面对的电气接头之间产生非擦拭接触 联系人。
