Abstract

A low-profile, high density, electrical connector (10), includes multiple layers (19, 22) of substantially parallel electrical conductors (31), the electrical conductors (25) each having a planar portion (29), and spaced ends (31) angling away from the planar portions (29). The planar portions (29) of the electrical conductors (25) are insulated with an insulating material (34). The spaced ends (31) of the electrical conductors (25) on each layer form a row of connector pins (13, 16). The connector (10) is formed by attaching the multiple layers (19, 22) along the insulated planar portions (29) of the conductors (25) to form a substantially rigid, low profile, multilayered structure.
