Abstract:
A multiple layer, universally connected and selectively disconnectable electrical interface comprising:a laminated structure including a plurality of insulating layers and a plurality of trace layers alternating therewith, each trace layer comprising a plurality of traces,a plurality of electrically conductive routing vias extending through the insulating layers of the laminated structure, each said routing via being connected to one of said traces in preselected first trace layers by a plurality of first junctions, each said routing via also being connected to a second selected trace in a second trace layer by a second junction, each of said plurality of first junctions between a trace and a routing via being spaced from each other on the same routing via such that selected first junctions may be selectively severed at a selected routing via to leave a first selected trace in a first trace layer connected to a second selected trace in said second trace layer,first and second terminal means accessible from the outside of the laminated structure, andfirst and second circuit means electrically connecting the first and second terminals respectively to said first and second selected traces.
