An electrical interconnect system is provided including a substrate and an array of electrical contacts held in the substrate. Each of the electrical contacts includes a nonconductive elastomeric element and an associated conductive element. The nonconductive element has opposite ends that are disposed beyond respective opposite sides of the substrate. The conductive element includes a body having opposite ends that are disposed exteriorly of the respective opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element. The opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element resiliently press against the respective opposite ends of the conductive element when a force is applied to the electrical contact.

An electrical interconnect device includes a substrate having opposite outer surfaces and an array of conductive elastomeric columns held by the substrate. Each of the columns have opposite ends that extend beyond respective ones of the outer surfaces of the substrate. Conductive contact caps are disposed over the opposite ends of each said column. An electrical path is defined from one of the contact caps, through the conductive elastomeric column, to another of the contact caps. Optionally, the contact caps may be sized and shaped substantially similarly as the ends of the elastomeric columns. The contact caps may be adhered to the ends of the columns, or alternatively, the contact caps may be adhered to the substrate.

A heat sink assembly and a method of fabricating a heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly comprises a cylindrical core onto which are mounted a plurality of fin disks. The fin disks and cylindrical core are assembled to a threaded base. This assembly comprises the heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly can be mounted onto a mounting clip or threaded directly onto a device having mating threads. The device can be a printed circuit board or components of a printed circuit board adapted to have threads or other electrical or electronic component that is adapted to have threads to receive the heat sink assembly. The fin disks are interference fit onto the cylindrical core to form a fin disk assembly to provide thermo-mechanical contact between the fin disks and the cylindrical core. The base is then interference fit onto the fin disk assembly to provide thermo-mechanical contact between the fin disk assembly and the base to form a heat sink assembly. The device can then be assembled to the electrical or electronic component requiring cooling.

A connector for board-to-board or board-to-socket interconnect applications includes a plurality of conductive elastomeric columnar contacts surrounded by an insulative body. In one embodiment employed in board-to-board applications, the columnar contacts are substantially longer than wide to facilitate mounting of components between opposed boards. The conductive columnar contacts extend slightly beyond the surfaces of the insulative body. The body may include integral raised collars that surround opposing ends of the conductive columnar contacts and at least one stop flange integral with the body that limits overstress on tips of the conductive columnar contacts.
