Abstract

An improved electrical connection between each of a set of metallized areas (16) on a first substrate (11 ) and those on a second substrate (12), via a layer of anisotropically conductive material (22) sandwiched therebetween, is obtained by arraying the metallized areas in concentric rings about each of a plurality of fasteners (28) extending through both substrates and the material. By arraying the metallized areas in concentric rings about each fastener, the anisotropically conductive material in contact with the metallized areas arrayed in each ring will advantageously be subjected to a uniform pressure by the fastener, improving the conductivity of the material.
