Abstract
A circuit assembly composed of: a one-piece molded support member (8); a first circuit device (32) positioned on the support member (8) and having a row of first contact elements (34) formed to have contact surfaces all lying in a first common plane; a second circuit device (36) having a row of second contact elements (38) formed to have contact surfaces all lying in a second common plane, the second circuit device (36) being secured to, and positioned by, the support member (8) such that the contact surfaces of the second contact elements (38) face the contact surfaces of the first contact elements (34), each first contact element (34) is aligned with a respective second contact element (38), and the first and second common planes are parallel to one another and are spaced a predetermined distance apart; and an elastomeric connector (10) interposed and compressed between the first and second circuit devices (32,36) for conductively connecting each first contact element (34) to the respective second contact element (38 ) with which the first contact element (34) is aligned.
