ABSTRACT:
A high-speed connector for interconnecting circuit boards to a backplane or interconnecting a mother board to daughter board. The connector includes a housing, biasing elements, a flex film, conductive elastomeric contact modules and biasing modules. The conductive elastomeric contact modules comprise a substrate which includes a plurality of individual conductive elastomeric contacts such as Metallized Particle Interconnect (MPI), or a polymer containing a plurality of conductive particles disposed therein. The first side of the conductive elastomeric contact modules interface to the flex film, and the second side of the conductive elastomeric contact module interface to a printed circuit board (PCB) set of contacts. Alternately, the conductive elastomeric contacts could be molded directly onto the flex film to eliminate the conductive elastomeric contact modules. The flex film includes conductive traces for providing electrical communication from a first conductive elastomeric contact module to a second conductive elastomeric contact module. The flex film could be realized as a multilayer film and include ground planes and/or strip line traces. Further, the conductive elastomeric contact modules could also include power and ground contacts.
