Abstract
Electrical operation signals such are transferred between a printer carriage interconnect circuit and a printhead interconnect circuit through conductive pads, some of which are elongated sufficiently to provide multiple conductive contact points. Positioning the elongated pads at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of an interconnect flex circuit results in a compact flex circuit having voltage, ground and control signal pads.
