Abstract

The invention provides a sheet material adapted to make bonded electrical connection to an array of closely spaced conductive terminal pads. The material may be provided as a roll of an elongated flexible connector tape. The sheet material of the invention comprises a thin, flexible insulating substrate and a plurality of longitudinally-extending, regularly-spaced, metal conductive members. The sheet may also include an adhesive layer that may cover the conductive members or at least a portion of the conductive members may extend above the adhesive layer. The conductive members may be supported and held on the substrate or may be suspended in the adhesive, out of contact with the substrate.
