ABSTRACT:
A matrix connector comprises an elastomer body presenting a pair of opposite contact faces at each of which is disposed a multiplicity of spaced contacts, contacts of opposite faces being interconnected by conductors extending through the body and being defined by convex folds in the conductors. Individual rows of contacts and their conductors are formed on flexible printed circuit laminae of which edge portions are turned to define the folds. A stack of laminae alternating with elastomeric strip material define the connector. Manufacture is suitably by compressing such a stack of extrude the elastomer through apertures in the printed circuits and curing the elastomer into a homogeneous mass.
