Microwave interconnect

Claim 1

An interconnector adapted to provide electrical connection between electrical devices, at least one of which has an electrical circuit mounted on a substrate, comprising: a flexible insulating medium provided thereon with a conductive run for each electrical connection between the electrical devices, the conductive run being separated into a plurality of substantially parallel conductors for each electrical connection and having a width greater than a terminal portion of the electrical devices between which it is designed to make connection such that fewer than all said substantially parallel conductors interconnect the electronic devices for each connection while maintaining an electrical width essentially equal to the width of the terminal, a body of elastomeric material secured to the flexible insulating medium on the side opposite the conductive run, and a bar for constraining said body of elastomeric material in compressive relationship against said flexible insulating medium for urging said conductive run against said electrical devices for making electrical connection therebetween, the flexible insulating medium conforming to the conductive surfaces thereof, the bar having downwardly extending indexing legs adapted to closely receive the electrical circuit devices therebetween for aligning the conductive run relative to said electrical devices and having a slot for alignably receiving said body of elatomeric material such that the bar bridges across said one electrical device for providing a connection between said one electrical device and another of said electrical devices disposed proximate one end of said bar, the slot being located in the end of the bar proximate the another of said electrical devices and the conductive run extending in a direction longitudinal of the bar proximate the one end thereof.
