Abstract

A device for electrical connection of components of electric and electronic circuits is made in the form of a two-coordinate commutation matrix of interlaced current conductors, in which for the purpose of providing the possibility of doubling of circuit connections, for compacting the wiring and reducing its cost, for providing an elastic device having the density of laying the contacts corresponding to the parameters of multilayer printed circuits, the matrix is made in the form of a cloth-type interlacing consisting of insulating threads and current lines separated one from another, each being formed by at least two non-insulated parallel current conductors and separated into two groups. Each of the groups corresponds to one coordinate and has parallel current lines, in which case each electric contact node is formed by the interlacing of the current conductors of the current lines relating to different groups.

Claims

1. A device for electrical connection of components of electric and electronic circuits consisting of a two-coordinate commutation matrix comprising in combination:

insulating threads woven in two coordinates;

non-insulating parallel current conductors, at least two said current conductors forming one current line;

all said current lines being divided into two groups, each corresponding to one coordinate and having parallel current lines;

said insulating threads and said current lines being interlaced and having the form of a cloth with nodes of electric contacts;

said nodes of electric contacts being formed by weaving said current conductors of the current lines relating to different groups the adjacent conductors in the same line being interlaced with the lines of the other coordinate at each node so as to alternate in their weaving pattern with one conductor passing over and under the lines of the conductors of the other coordinate whereas the adjacent conductor of the same current line passes under and over the conductors of the other coordinate.

2. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which on the section having no nodes of electric contacts said insulating threads form an insulating layer due to the interlacing, while said current lines intersect said insulating layer at a constant pitch, the adjacent current lines inside of each group being displaced a half-pitch, whereas said current lines of different groups are located on opposite sides of said insulating layer at the places of intersection in space.

3. A device as claimed in claim 1, comprising additional insulating threads to separate said current conductors forming a single current line and additionally interlaced at said electric contact nodes.
