A connector insert comprising conductive wire and a plurality of layers of conductive and non-conductive elastomers, and methods of fabrication thereof.

An electrical assembly including a first element, such as a connector body, formed of a conductive composite material and a second element formed of a solid metallic material, such as a sheet metal electromagnetic interference shield, defining a fibrous conductive region formed of a plurality of metallic filaments. The conductive composite material forming the first element completely surrounds a portion of the fibrous conductive region. Conductive fibers in the conductive composite material are in intimate contact with the fibrous conductive region, forming a very high number of electrical contact points between the conductive fibers in the conductive composite material and the fibrous conductive region and thereby providing a robust electrical connection between the first element and the second element.

An anisotropic conductive film has an insulating binder layer, conductive particles arranged in a regular pattern on a surface of the insulating binder layer, and an insulating adhesion layer layered on the surface of the insulating binder layer. In the insulating binder layer of the anisotropic conductive film, insulating fillers are arranged in a regular pattern so as not to be overlapped with the conductive particles. This anisotropic conductive film is produced by arranging the conductive particles and the insulating fillers in regular patterns using a transfer mold having openings. The anisotropic conductive film can suppress linking of the conductive particles during anisotropic conductive connection without an increase in connection resistance, to largely suppress occurrence of short circuit.
