Interconnector with contact pads having enhanced durability

A structure comprising:

• a dielectric body of an elastomeric material having a first surface and a second surface;
• a group of at least two conductive members embedded in said body, each said member having two ends, one of said ends being a first end at said first surface, and a second one of said ends extending at least to said second surface;
• an enlarged substantially flat conductive pad at said first surface for making electrical connection therethrough to said group;
• a component having at least one solder ball component contact, said component contact for making electrical connection with said conductive pad;
• a connecting article having at least one article contact, said article contact making connection with said group at second end of said members;
• and
• a compression means for compressing said component contact to said conductive pad.

A structure comprising:

• a dielectric body of an elastomeric material having a first surface and a second surface;
• a conductive member embedded in said body, said member having two ends, one of said ends being a first end having an enlarged, substantially flat, wide surface area extending at least to said first surface, and a second one of said ends extending at least to said second surface;
• a component having at least one solder ball contact, said solder ball contact making connection with said first end of at least one of the two conductive members;
• a connecting article having at least one article contact, said article contact making connection with said second end;
• and
• a ball compression mean, for compressing said solder ball connection to said first end.
