A mating connector that is rotatable and wet-mateable is disclosed herein. The connector has mating components that can be characterized as male and female. The connector may have one or more electrical and/or non-electrical contacts. As used herein, “wet-mateable” or “wet-connectable” means proper mating of the male and female components can be achieved even in the presence of conductive fluid. Being rotatable means the male and female components can be rotated independently during the mating process. A male component of a rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector is provided that has conductive and non-conductive sealing elements. A female component of the rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector is provided having conductive elements that are complementary to the male component. The male component is inserted into a chamber within the female component to produce the rotatable and wet-mateable mating connector.

A method and structure is provided for constructing elastomeric pin arrays using solder interconnects and a non-conductive medium. Pin to pin interconnects are constructed using a solder connection through a non-conductive medium. This structure eliminates the need for PCB structures as the medium, reducing manufacturing cost. In another embodiment one or more elastomeric columns extend through holes or openings in the non conductive medium. The elastomeric columns are fixed securely within the holes preferably with adhesive material. Compression stops are provided on both sides of each elastomeric column for both the upper and bottom surfaces of the non conductive medium.

Disclosed is an elastic electric contact terminal comprising: an elastic core; a polymer film which is bonded while covering the core, with an adhesive layer being interposed therebetween; and a copper foil capable of being soldered, which is bonded while covering the polymer film. A metal plating layer is formed on every surface exposed outwardly from the copper foil.

The present invention relates to a signal transmission connector connected to an electronic device, for transmitting an electrical signal, and includes a signal shielding unit in which multiple conductive particles are dispersed within an elastic insulating material in order to shield an external noise signal, a plurality of signal transmission units spaced apart within the signal shielding unit in a form in which the multiple conductive particles are arranged in a thickness direction within the elastic insulating material in such a way as to be connected to terminals of an electronic device, and a plurality of insulation units each disposed to surround the signal transmission unit between the signal transmission unit and the signal shielding unit in order to insulate the plurality of signal transmission units and the signal shielding unit.
