Abstract

A pressure type contact (10) for flexible or conventional wire cable terminations is fabricated from electroformed thin metallic wafers in which one wafer is plated with a raised conductive interconnection feature. The raised feature is formed by placing a small lump (44) of electrically conductive resin on a substrate (12) and then electrolytically forming on the substrate a trace (18) having an enlarged connector pad (20) that completely covers the cured projecting resin lump.
