Abstract
The present invention relates to electronic assemblies which include an elastomeric member made of a cured, room-temperature curable polysiloxane composition. When the assemblies are used to electrically interconnect a first contacting site on a first electronic device to a second contacting site on a second electronic device, the stress-relaxation resistant properties of the elastomer enhance local contact force to maintain a reliable connection.
