Abstract
A separable connector interface includes at least one electrically conductive element with a metal polymer composite deposited thereon. The metal polymer composite has conductive particles dispersed within a protective binder.
Claims18
A separable connector interface comprising:
- at least one electrically conductive element with a metal polymer composite deposited thereon;
- wherein the metal polymer composite exhibits temperature and humidity stability, the metal polymer composite comprising:
- electrically conductive particles dispersed within a protective binder and has a contact resistance approximately equal to or less than 100 mohms;
- and
- a surface having a sufficient number of a-spots or asperities due to low hardness of the composite to facilitate a stable electrical connection at normal loads of approximate 10 grams or less.
