Abstract
A circuit card includes a rigid portion having a first plurality of contacts configured to be in electrical communication with a plurality of memory devices. The circuit card further includes a flexible connector coupled to the rigid portion. The flexible connector has a first side and a second side. The flexible connector comprises a dielectric layer, a second plurality of contacts configured to be in electrical communication with a substrate, and a plurality of electrical conduits on the first side of the flexible connector and extending from the rigid portion to the second plurality of contacts. The plurality of electrical conduits is in electrical communication with one or more contacts of the first plurality of contacts and with the second plurality of contacts. The flexible connector further includes an electrically conductive layer on the second side of the flexible connector. The electrically conductive layer is superposed with the plurality of electrical conduits with the dielectric layer therebetween. The electrically conductive layer does not cover one or more portions of the second side of the flexible connector, thereby providing improved flexibility of the flexible connector.
