Abstract:
A printed electrical connector is fabricated via additive manufacturing technology. According to configuration, the printed electrical connector design includes two flat patterned thermoplastic plates printed with mechanical registration features that align conductive traces on the two plates of the electrical connector. A top plate is printed with a plurality of raised pedestals and a plurality of metallic traces. A bottom plate is printed with a plurality of recessed channels and a corresponding plurality of metallic traces. The plurality of recessed channels of the bottom plate are configured to mate with the plurality of raised pedestals on the top plate. The pedestals and channels of the top and bottom plates, respectively, serve to align the metallic traces that comprise the electrical connector. The printed electrical connector design allows printed electrical/electronic circuits and/or devices to be manufactured and interfaced with other printed electrical/electronic circuits and/or devices. In this way, the printed electrical connector can be employed as an integral part of a printed circuit board for any suitable kind of circuit, including, but not limited to, digital, analog, and/or microwave circuits.

Claim (Index 24):
The apparatus as in  claim 23 , wherein the first connector substrate is disposed on an edge of the circuit board.
