Abstract
A connection system for use in connecting a high density flexible circuit directly to a surface mounted integrated circuit component mounted on a printed circuit board. The connection system utilizes an upper and lower stiffener plate to route the contacts of the high density flexible circuit to the pins of the integrated circuit component. The connection system utilizes silicone rubber pressure rods to create a force on the contacts of the higher density flexible circuit to ensure reliable connection to the leads of the surface mounted components. The connection system utilizes comb spacers which define slots to align the contacts of the high density circuit to the pins of the integrated circuit component and a top clamp to retain the assembly onto the integrated circuit component.
