Abstract

An impedance controlled elastomeric connector (10) includes signal contacts (30) and ground contacts (40) with leads (32, 42) and a ground plane (25) formed of conductive foil (24) laminated to a dielectric and insulating film (18) folded around an elastomeric core (12) with the signal, ground spacing and the dielectric constant and thickness of the film selected to provide controlled impedance signal paths through the connector as compressed between components (2, 6).
