Abstract
An electrical connection assembly includes a body, an electrically insulative layer supported by the body, a first bond pad defined on the electrically insulative layer, a first electrical contact pad defined on the electrically insulative layer and electrically isolated from the first bond pad, a circuit located adjacent to the electrically insulative layer defining a second bond pad and a second electrical contact pad that are electrically isolated from each other, and an electrically conductive bonding material that electrically and mechanically links the first and second bond pads. After setting, the electrically conductive bonding material biases the first and second electrical contact pads against each other in order to create an electrical connection therebetween.
