Patent ID: 8091982

Claim:
A printhead assembly comprising: a printhead module having a plurality of modular printhead integrated circuits (tiles) each tile having a plurality of inkjet nozzle assemblies for operatively printing on a printing medium; a ducting assembly having a laminated stack of layers, each layer of the stack having a number of apertures which, when the layers are stacked, provide ducts whereby ink is able to flow from an ink reservoir to the nozzle assemblies; and a number of electrical connector assemblies for operatively connecting the respective printhead tiles to a plurality of controllers, each controller being configured to generate and load dots for printing by the printhead tiles connected thereto and being mounted to a respective modular support defining a raised portion and a recessed portion at an end thereof, the electrical connector assemblies having electrical connecting strips connected to the respective controllers which overlie the respective recessed portions and comprising a connecting member having a series of parallel spaced conducting strips, each said connecting member shaped and configured for fitment into a cavity defined by the raised and recessed portions of two abutting supports to connect the connecting strips of two electrical connector assemblies via said conducting strips so that the plurality of controllers are interconnected with one another and a plurality of the printhead tiles.
