Abstract
An ink jet pen with a pen body defining an ink chamber. A print head on the pen body communicates with the ink chamber. The pen body includes a number of electrically conductive traces that extend from a printer interface region to the print head. The print head may be surface mounted to the body, or connected with anisotropic or Z-axis conductive adhesive. The traces may be conductive material applied into grooves on the surface of the body, or an insert molded leadframe. The interface region and print head may be on a common surface of the body.
