Abstract
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a first electronic element to a second electronic element includes an insulating body and multiple conductors. The insulating body has multiple accommodating holes. Each conductor is accommodated in a corresponding accommodating hole. Each conductor has an elastic insulator and low melting point liquid metal wrapping a surface of the elastic insulator, such that a continuous conducting path is formed by the liquid metal between the first electronic element and the second electronic element.
Claims19
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a first electronic element to a second electronic element, comprising:
- an insulating body having a plurality of accommodating holes passing through two opposite side surfaces of the insulating body, each of the accommodating holes having a first side and an opposite, second side respectively disposed at the two opposite side surfaces of the insulating body;
- and
- a plurality of conductors, each accommodated in a corresponding accommodating hole,
- wherein each conductor comprises an elastic insulator having a groove or a cavity on a surface thereof and low melting point liquid metal wrapping the surface of the elastic insulator, a first end of the conductor is protruded from the first side of the corresponding accommodating hole, a second end, opposite to the first end, of the conductor is exposed from the second side of the corresponding accommodating hole,
- when the first electronic element compresses the first ends of the conductors, the second ends of the conductors urge the second electronic element, such that the liquid metal contacts the first electronic element and the second electronic element.
