Abstract
A method of connecting a first conductive device to a second conductive device is provided. The first conductive device has a first conductive trace supported by a first substrate. The first trace has a generally planar first surface spaced away from the first substrate that defines a first edge. The second conductive device has a second conductive trace supported by a second substrate. The second trace has a generally planar second surface spaced away from the second substrate that defines a second edge. The method includes joining the first edge of the first trace with the second trace to form an area of contact such that a portion of the first surface proximate the area of contact is non-parallel with a portion of the second surface proximate the area of contact.
