Abstract
A print head includes a body, holding a droplet jetting device, a flexible electrical connection element, and an adhesive covering and securing first and second contact pad structures together. The droplet jetting device has an actuator for jetting a droplet of liquid from a nozzle of the droplet jetting device. The actuator is in electrical connection to the first contact pad structure. The flexible electrical connection element has, at one end, the second contact pad structure, which is mounted onto the first contact pad structure. The first and second contact pad structures each have an interface surface which contacts the interface surface of the other to form an electrical connection. At least one of the first contact pad structure and the second contact pad structure includes a recessed portion as compared to a wider portion positioned between the recessed portion and the interface surface.
