Disclosed is a wire array rubber connector (), including: an electrical insulating rubber (); and a plurality of conductive metal wires () that are arrayed in a thickness direction of the electrical insulating rubber so as to pass through front and back surfaces of the electrical insulating rubber, and localized so as to be electrically connectable to electrical terminals that are disposed at predetermined positions on the front and back surfaces of the electrical insulating rubber. The electrical insulating rubber () is a flame-resistant rubber achieving V-0 based on the UL-94 standard. This wire array rubber connector () is obtained by: mixing a plurality of conductive metal wires having a predetermined length into a liquid thermosetting electrical insulating rubber material; applying a magnetic field from a thickness direction of the rubber material using an electromagnet that is patterned in a predetermined pattern so that the conductive metal wires are arrayed in the thickness direction and localized; and curing the rubber material by heating, thereby providing the wire array rubber connector with high flame resistance and with low transmission loss in a high frequency region.

Wire array rubber connector and method for producing the same

A conductive rubber component () of the present invention includes a metal coating () formed on at least one surface located perpendicular to a compression direction of a conductive rubber single body () by atomic and/or molecular deposition, and can be surface mounted and soldered. In a method for mounting a conductive rubber component () of the present invention, the conductive rubber component () is surface mounted on a wiring layer () on a printed wiring board () and is fixed by a solder layer () thereto and thereby is incorporated to electrically connect the printed circuit board () and an electronic component () to each other. Thus, a conductive rubber component and a method for mounting same are provided, wherein the conductive rubber component is used as an electrical contact of an electronic component compatible with the surface mount technology (SMT), the conductive rubber component does not cause any damage to the electrode surface of the electronic component even when the body of an electronic device in which it is mounted is distorted or warped, it has lower resistance and excellent chemical stability and can be used for SMT.
