Latest Patents
One of Tamura's latest patents is a method of making an electrical connecting member. This invention features a holding member made of an electric insulating material, which holds a plurality of conductive members insulated from each other. Each conductive member has one end exposed on one surface of the holding member and the other end exposed on the opposite surface. The design allows for high-density connections between electric circuit components, even when there are irregularities in height or uneven junctions. The exposed portions of the conductive members can be deformed under pressure, reducing the coupling load during connections. Additionally, these portions can be designed to be porous or annealed to enhance their performance.
Another significant patent involves electrical connections using deforming compression. This method facilitates the electrical connection between joints of electric circuit components by applying a biasing force from an elastic member. This force is exerted from an intermediate position of the connecting area to the periphery, ensuring a reliable connection.
