Abstract

Elastomeric connectors are a relatively new technology compared with conventional connector systems. A wide variety of elastomeric connectors are available today to meet the interconnection requirements for many different electronic packaging applications. Multichip modules are one of the many applications that benefit from the high density interconnection capabilities of elastomeric connectors. The ELASTICON connector is a new high performance elastomeric connector that was developed to address some of the key limitations of existing MCM and land grid array connectors. The ELASTICON connector uses gold or gold alloy wires for the conductive elements embedded in an elastomer material. The size, shape and spacing along with the elastomer material properties can be tailored to specific application requirements. The processes that have been developed for fabricating the ELASTICON connector represent a new direction for elastomeric connector manufacturing. Besides LGA packaging applications, ELASTICON connectors can be used for board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnections as well as high density PCB and IC chip testing applications.<>

弹性体连接器新方向

与传统的连接器系统相比，弹性连接器是一种相对较新的技术。今天有各种各样的弹性体连接器可以满足许多不同电子封装应用的互连要求。多芯片模块是受益于弹性体连接器高密度互连能力的众多应用之一。ELASTICON连接器是一种新型高性能弹性连接器，旨在解决现有MCM和陆地电网阵列连接器的一些关键限制。ELASTICON连接器使用金或金合金线将导电元件嵌入弹性体材料中。尺寸、形状和间距以及弹性体材料性能可以根据特定的应用要求进行定制。已经开发的制造ELASTICON连接器的工艺代表了弹性连接器制造的新方向。除了LGA封装应用外，ELASTICON连接器还可用于板对板和电缆对板互连以及高密度PCB和IC芯片测试应用。
