ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an elastomeric connector and the associated method used to manufacture the elastomeric connector. The elastomeric connector includes a segment of a dielectric substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. A plurality of conductive elements are positioned within the dielectric substrate in a predetermined pattern. Portions of the conductive elements lay exposed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate within the selected pattern. Accordingly, any contacts that abut against the top surface and the bottom surface of the elastomeric connector will be electrically interconnected by the conductive wire. Each of the conductive elements is configured in a manner that prevents the dielectric substrate from enveloping the conductive elements at the points where they enter the dielectric substrate. Accordingly, as the dielectric substrate is repeatedly compressed, the conductive elements resist becoming buried within the material of the dielectric substrate.
