ABSTRACT:
An electrically connectable module is manufactured from a substrate of an electrically insulating polymer matrix doped with an electrically insulating fibrous filler capable of heat conversion to an electrically conductive fibrous filler to form a fiber-doped substrate. One end of an electrical connector is embedded in the fiber-doped substrate to locate the one end adjacent the surface of the substrate while exposing an opposite end of the electrical connector. The surface of the fiber-doped substrate is locally heated preferably with a laser to form a conductive trace by the in-situ heat conversion of the electrically insulating fibrous filler, the localized heating including the one end of the electrical connector to electrically connect the electrical connector to the conductive trace. In another embodiment, a conductive material is electrodeposited on the conductive trace by applying a voltage to the opposite end of the electrical connector. The substrate is molded into a desired shape to form the module, and a plurality of electrical connectors can be embedded into the substrate in any one of several different standardized arrangements.
