High density and greatly increased number of I/O’s are possible; especially beyond 200 connections. Eliminates the costs of soldering and related rework. Facilitates denser and less expensive packaging.
After inserting the correctly sized connector pad between the opposing groups of electrodes, all that is necessary is to apply the appropriate pressure to allow the electrodes to be properly connected.
The WSL and WSC types have straight metal conductors protruding slightly from both top and bottom of the silicone rubber sheet to ensure perfect connections with slight pressure. Designed for mounting applications.
The WBC type has curved fine metal conductors embedded in a silicone rubber sheet which are flush with the top and bottom planes. The curved configuration facilities repeated compressions. Ideal for inspection applications.
