Abstract

This paper concisely describes polymer thick film technology used with printed circuit boards as an interesting means of achieving time and cost reduction. Telephone keypads and edge connectors manufactured with this technology and using two different processes are subjected to environmental and life tests in order to compare them with the traditional gold-plated keypads and edge connectors used in the same applications.
