ABSTRACT:
Piezoelectric polymer film transducers include a metallized film electrode deposited on each of the two surfaces of the film. The electrodes are provided with leads extending therefrom in staggered parallel relationship. Each lead of the improved connector is associated with a reinforced assembly comprising plastic strips, a terminal connector, optional spacer washers, and a metal rivet penetrating the assembly such that electrical contact is effected between the lead and terminal connector. To insure positive electrical contact, a conductive ink may be deposited on one of the plastic strips through which an orifice is provided. The orifice communicates with a selected lead. The ink coats walls of the orifice to insure electrical continuity between the lead and terminal connector. A modified connector assembly disposes the reinforced connectors beyond the edges of a substrate which carries or supports the piezoelectric polymer film transducers.
