Abstract
A method for forming an ink jet print head can include attaching a plurality of piezoelectric elements to a diaphragm, dispensing an interstitial layer over the diaphragm, electrically coupling a plurality of conductive elements to the plurality of piezoelectric elements, and curing the interstitial layer. A plurality of electrically isolated conductive particles within the interstitial layer electrically couple the plurality of conductive elements to the plurality of piezoelectric elements. The conductive particles can be evenly distributed throughout the totality of the interstitial layer dielectric, or they can be localized over a top surface of each piezoelectric element and interposed between the plurality of piezoelectric elements and the plurality of conductive elements. The conductive elements can be part of a flex circuit or printed circuit board.
