Anisotropic conductive elastomer based electrical interconnect with enhanced dynamic range

1. An Anisotropic Conductive Elastomer (ACE) connector that interconnects two or more electrical circuit elements, comprising:

at least two layers of Anisotropic Conductive Elastomer (ACE), separable from said electrical circuit elements;

one or more alternate interconnection elements comprising conductive elements separating the ACE layers, the interconnection elements defining voids into which the ACE elastomer can move during the interconnection process.

2. The connector of claim 1 wherein an interconnection element comprises a rigid circuit board.

3. The connector of claim 1 wherein an interconnection element comprises a flexible circuit with a pad layer on top that is electrically connected to a pad layer on the bottom of the flexible circuit, wherein said flexible circuit comprises an array of plated through holes that interconnect said pad layer on top and said pad layer on the bottom of the flexible circuit.

4. The connector of claim 2 wherein an interconnection element defines a circuit ground plane, to enhance the transmitted signal.

5. A separable electrical connector for electrically interconnecting two electrical circuit elements, comprising:

an adapter device having a plurality of spaced lands on both sides, thereby defining void volumes at the surfaces between the lands, wherein said adapter device comprises a flex circuit that houses an array of plated through holes that interconnect said lands;

a layer of Anisotropic Conductive Elastomer (ACE) between one of said electrical circuit element and the adapter device; and

a second layer of ACE between the other electrical circuit element and the adapter device.
