Abstract
Devices and methods of stressing anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE) sheet material that defines a plurality of electrical pathways through its thickness. The perimeter of the sheet is mechanically gripped, while leaving an interior portion of the sheet free. A surface over which the interior portion of the sheet is to be stretched is provided, and the sheet and the surface are contacted. The sheet and the surface are then relatively moved, to stretch the sheet over the surface, and thereby stress the interior portion of the sheet.
Claims9
A method of stressing anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE) sheet material that defines a plurality of electrical pathways through its thickness, the sheet defining a perimeter, the method comprising:
- mechanically gripping the sheet perimeter, while leaving an interior portion of the sheet free;
- providing a surface over which the interior portion of the sheet is to be stretched;
- contacting the sheet and the surface;
- and
- relatively moving the sheet and the surface, to stretch the sheet over the surface, and thereby stress the interior portion of the sheet.
