Method and system for interconnectingly engaging circuits

An interconnected rigid circuit-flex circuit system, which comprises

• a rigid circuit and a flex circuit, said rigid circuit having a first and a second major surface;
• said flex circuit having a first and a second major surface;
• a rigid conductive member having a first end for interconnecting engagement with the rigid circuit and a second end for interconnecting engagement with the first major surface of the flex circuit;
• a compressive member comprising a coil spring having a first end for interconnecting engagement with the second major surface of the flex circuit for compressively urging said rigid conductive member into interconnecting engagement against said rigid circuit;
• the first end of the rigid conductive member interconnectingly engaging with the rigid circuit and the second end of the rigid conductive member interconnectingly engaging with the first major surface of the flex circuit;
• and
• the first end of the compressive member interconnectingly engaging with the second major surface of the flex circuit and compressively urging said rigid conductive member for interconnecting engagement against said rigid circuit thereby connecting the rigid circuit to the flex circuit to form a completed electrical circuit.

An apparatus for connecting a first rigid circuit to a second flex circuit, which comprises

• a rigid conductive member having a first end for interconnecting engagement with the rigid circuit and a second end for interconnecting engagement with a first major surface of the flex circuit;
• a compressive member comprising a coil spring having a first end for interconnecting engagement with a second major surface of the flex circuit for compressively urging said rigid conductive member into interconnecting engagement against said rigid circuit;
• the first end of the rigid conductive member interconnecting engaging with the rigid circuit and the second end of the rigid conductive member interconnectingly engaging with the first major surface of the flex circuit;
• and
• the first end of the compressive member interconnecting engaging with the second major surface of the flex circuit and compressively urging said rigid conductive member into interconnecting engagement against said rigid circuit thereby connecting the rigid circuit to the flex circuit to form a completed electrical circuit.
