Abstract

Disclosed is a device for electrically coupling stocked circuit boards using conductive polymer interconnect material and a spacer element. In one embodiment, coaxial connection is provided by means of an array of wires within undulating metal envelopes. In another embodiment, pins are provided within holes in a plastic spacer. In a third embodiment, wires are laid on a substrate and successive laminations are built up to form the spacer element. In a fourth embodiment, wire arrays are extrusion molded within thermoplastic sheets which are laminated to form the spacer element.
