Applications:
- LCD and EL displays
- Board-to-board
- Chip-to-board
- Memory Cards
- Flex circuit-to-board
- Burn-in sockets
- Miniature and low profile interconnect-general electronics
| ZEBRAŽ Elastomeric Connectors are an obvious choice. And one which offers a variety of alternatives based on the primary design objectives. Some of the more important considerations are:
- High Density; increased number of I/O's
- Low resistance, high current capacity
- Low insertion force, low compression force
- Redundant contact engagement
- High electrical and mechanical reliability
- Chemical stability, degradation resistance
- Cost-effectiveness, ease of assembly

 High Strength Bonding unitizes layers
into one rugged body.

ZEBRAŽ Elastomeric Electronic Connectors have alternating conductive and non-conductive layers. The conductive layers are oriented vertically in the thickness direction, making contact from top to bottom.
All styles offer redundant contact depending on the pitch of the conductive elements, some as small as 0.05 mm centerline. Each of the styles is also available with outer support sections along the entire length on one or both sides (except Series 8000). The support is available in sponge or solid silicone rubber, and creates a larger width area. This eliminates the need for a holder while still allowing a very low compression force during deflection.

SIDE SUPPORT OR INSULATION BARRIER
 | Drawing at left shows side support or insulation on one or both sides, or one of each.
Various materials are available from the minimum insulating barrier of .05mm to support layers of up to 1.5mm. Support layers can be soft silicone rubber, or medium and soft silicone sponge.
Recemmended height is twice the width for minimum force deflection.
Maximum skewness at 2% of height.
