ABSTRACT:
A modular thermal print head and method of fabricating same including a first member having at least one surface on which is arranged an array of electrodes, and a second member mounted in spaced relationship to the first member and having at least one surface on which is disposed a single conductor element. A thermal printing element having an array of electrically resistive members terminated at one end by conductor pads arranged in an array, and proximate a second end to a common conductive member is provided. The thermal printing element is disposed between the first and second members with its array of conductor pads in contact with the array of electrodes on the first member, and its common conductive member in contact with the single conductor element on the second member. Selected portions of the thermal printing element may be energized to produce thermal printing energy.
