Abstract
An interconnection system comprises a circuit board having signal conductors for carrying electrical signals. The circuit board includes a plurality of contact pads coupled to each one of said signal conductors. An elastomeric compression interconnect is releasably disposed next to the contact pads of the circuit board. The elastomeric compression interconnect includes a composite material having magnetic, electrically conductive substantially spherical particles disposed in a nonconductive matrix material adapted to align into mutually isolated conductive chains. A radio frequency flex circuit is also releasably disposed next to the elastomeric compression interconnect. The flex circuit is made of a dielectric material and a bonding material exhibiting substantially low signal loss.
