ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit interconnect system and method for providing direct electrical contact between a flexible circuit and a printed circuit board or an additional flex circuit is disclosed. In one embodiment, elastomeric material is located between the flex circuit and a rigid support to provide an interconnection receptacle for electrical contact with a printed circuit board. In another embodiment, one flex circuit surrounds a formed elastomeric wedge and a second flex circuit is rigidly supported with an opening corresponding to the wedge. Compression of elastomeric material maintains direct contact between the connecting pads of the circuit members.
