ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer including a first inkjet pen having a first electrical contact and a second inkjet pen having a second electrical contact the improvement which includes: a substrate; a third electrical contact on the substrate coupled to the first electrical contact on the first inkjet pen; a fourth electrical contact on the substrate coupled to the second electrical contact on the second inkjet pen; and a conductive layer deposited on the substrate electrically interconnecting the third electrical contact to the fourth electrical contact. The improved unitary interconnect system provides an interconnect system that reduces cost, is easier to assemble and align, and provides ground plane sharing for all of the inkjet pens.
