Abstract

A circuit interconnect system comprises a circuit pattern (22) on a rigid insulating sheet (17), forming a first circuit carrying substrate (12). A portion of the circuit pattern wraps around an edge of the insulating sheet and continues onto a vertical wall (20) of the sheet to provide a contact surface (24). An electrically conductive portion (16) of a second member (14) is mated to the first circuit carrying substrate by aligning the contact surface to the electrically conductive portion. An electrically conductive resilient material such as a conductive elastomer (35) or metal spring (35) provides electrical interconnection between the circuit pattern and the electrically conductive portion.
