    Abstract: The flexible connector for high density circuit applications comprises a multilayer flexible substrate upon which are formed a plurality of contact pads, in a density required by a particular application. This density may exceed two hundred contact pads per square inch. Contact pads of similar size and configuration are formed on the surface of another device, i.e., circuit board, and provision made to align the contact pads of the connector with those of the circuit board. Micro-pads are formed on the surface of the contact pads on the connector such, that when the connector is brought into contact with the circuit board, and sufficient pressure is applied, the micro-pads make actual electrical contact with the pads of the circuit board. Since the total surface area in contact, namely the sum of the surface areas of the micro-pads, is a small fraction of the total area of the connector, a large pressure is provided at the electrical contact interface even when low pressure is provided to the connector as a whole.

    Abstract: Wiring circuit boards with bumps can be manufactured such that stable bump connections are possible and plating pre-treatments or other difficult operations are rendered unnecessary. By utilizing a technique whereby a bump-formation etching mask 7 is formed on a bump-forming surface 3a of a metal foil 3 which has a thickness that is the sum of the thickness t1 of the wiring circuit 1 and the height t2 of the bumps 2 which are to be formed on the wiring circuit 1 (t1nullt2), and then the bumps 2 are formed by half-etching the metal foil 3 to a depth corresponding to the desired bump height t2 from the bump-formation etching mask 7 side, wiring circuit boards with bumps can be manufactured such that stable bump connections are possible and plating pre-treatments or other complex processes are rendered unnecessary.

    Abstract: Metallic bumps are formed for electrical interconnection between the charge plate and the charge drive electronics. This is achieved by having improved electrical connection between an ink jet charge plate and associated charge leads is promoted. This is achieved by integrating the termination pads, electrical transmission lines, and charging leads. The termination bumps are formed as integral parts of the charge leads and are connected directly to the charge driver board electronics by pressure contact. The bumps can be formed by mechanically indenting the termination pads or by using an interposer that has raised metallic pads aligned to the integral nickel pads and the charge driver circuitry board. First, a mask is aligned to permit additive formation of the pads, conductors, and charge leads. Then the nickel circuitry thus formed is made into a rigid charge plate and an integrated flexible section having contact bumps. After bonding the rigid and flexible substrates to the electroformed circuitry the copper substrate is completely removed by selective etching, thus exposing the mechanically deformed bumps on the lead terminations, one for each charge lead. The bump thus formed is used to provide a high pressure point electrical connection to the charge plate.
