An apparatus including terminals for electronic devices such as display units or the like. The terminals are hermetically sealed into the structure of the electronic device during the assembly thereof. The terminal includes a bent, resilient end portion at the internal end thereof to make contact with electrical conductors within the device. The other end of the terminal extends beyond the edge of the device. The mid-region of the terminal is retained within the hermetic seal which is disposed adjacent to the edge of the apparatus.
An interconnect system which is used to provide an electrical connection between contact pads on the facing surfaces of adjacent electrical support media such as the face plate and the substrate of an electronic circuit device such as gas discharge displays. The interconnect system uses a conductive glass material which is selectively screened onto and fired with the display device.
