FUJIPOLY low resistance ZEBRA® elastomeric connectors are constructed of alternating parallel layers of electrically conductive and nonconductive silicone elastomer. The electrically conductive layer is filled with silver-metal particles. The composite alternating layers provide reliable electrical connection when placed between two aligned conducting surfaces. 
The low resistance ZEBRA® provides a redundant connection with a minimum of two conductive layers recommended per PC contact pad. The connector is available with insulating barrier or silicone supports. The connectors are used for connecting electroluminescent (EL) and plasma type displays to PC boards or for connecting hybrid circuits to PC boards, among other applications. Low resistance ZEBRA® connectors are positioned between two aligned surfaces and are mechanically clamped together with a lid or another PC board. The connectors may be free standing or positioned in a retainer depending on packaging profiles. SILICONE SUPPORT 
Details show silicone support (left) and insulation barrier (right). Each is available on one or both sides. Configurations may also include supprt on one side and insulation on the other. Note: Recommended Height (H) should be twice Width (W) dimension for minimum force deflection. Maximum Skewness 2% of Height.

Minimum deflection will vary with packaging applications and should consider overall height, PC board warpage, finish, etc. (Contact FUJIPOLY Product Application Engineering for assistance.) Design recommendations for solid ZEBRA¨ over 0.400" deflect 0.050" maximum. Silicone supported over 0.400" deflect 0.060" typical. The use of an insulating barrier or silicone self-support material on one or both sides of the connector is recommended. The silicone support is utilized to reduce clamp force and provide an element of environmental protection for a cost-effective connection. FORCE DEFLECTION ZEBRA® connectors should be deflected 5% to 25% of H. To calculate F-Force for deflection, use the following formula: F(g) = 10.0 x compression % x W(mm) x L(mm)
