Abstract:
A method of making a multilayer circuit including at least one interposer and at least one circuit panel, said circuit panel having contact pads defining holes, said method comprising the steps of:(a) stacking said at least one circuit panel and said at least one interposer so that a first surface of said interposer confronts a surface of said panel, said interposer having a body defining said first surface and conductors having ends adjacent or above said first surface and having a contact at each said conductor end, each said contact including a peripheral portion extending generally horizontally from the associated conductor end, said peripheral portions of said contacts confronting the contact pads on the circuit panel facing said interposer; and(b) compressing said stacked panel and interposer whereby said conductor ends enter said holes defined by said contact pads, said peripheral portions of said contacts being forcibly engaged with said contact pads whereby the peripheral portion of each contact is contracted radially inwardly toward the associated conductor end so that each said peripheral portion moves horizontally with respect to the engaged contact pad and wipes said contact pad.
