Claims
- 1. A connection, comprising:
- a first conductive member;
- a second member consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride;
- an epoxy adhesive material disposed between and attaching said first conductive member to said second member; and
- a first electrically conductive coating on adjacent portions of said first conductive member and said second member for electrically connecting said first conductive member and said second member.
- 2. A connection as recited in claim 1 wherein said first conductive member comprises a thermally insulating terminal.
- 3. A connection as recited in claim 2 wherein said terminal comprises copper foil electrodeposited onto a synthetic resin polymer film.
- 4. A connection as recited in claim 2 wherein said terminal comprises copper foil electrodeposited onto an epoxy-glass laminate.
- 5. A connection as recited in claim 2, further comprising: a metallic wire; and
- low temperature solder connecting said wire and said conductive coating at said terminal.
- 6. A connection as recited in claim 5, further comprising: a second electrically conductive coating on said solder.
- 7. A connection as recited in claim 6, wherein said second conductive coating comprises silver-filled paint.
- 8. A device comprising:
- a piezoelectric substrate consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride;
- first and second electrically conductive members;
- an epoxy adhesive material attaching said conductive members to said substrate at respective opposite first and second surfaces and near respective opposite ends about an active region of said substrate;
- a first conductive contiguous coating on a portion of said first conductive member and an adjacent portion of said first side surface of said substrate; and
- a second contiguous electrically conductive coating on a portion of said second side surface of said substrate;
- whereby said first and second conductive coatings define therebetween the active region of said substrate.
- 9. A connection, comprising:
- a first conductive thermally insulating terminal member;
- a second member;
- adhesive member dispoed between and attaching said terminal member to said second member;
- a first electrically conductive coating on adjacent portions of said terminal member and said second member for electrically connecting said terminal member and said second member;
- a metallic wire;
- a low temperature solder connecting said wire and said first conductive coating at said terminal member; and
- a second electrically conductive coating on said solder.
- 10. A connection as recited in claim 9, wherein said second conductive coating comprises silver-filled paint.
- 11. A connection as recited in claim 9 wherein said terminal comprises copper foil electrodeposited onto a synthetic resin polymer film.
- 12. A connection as recited in claim 9 wherein said terminal comprises copper foil electrodeposited onto an epoxy-glass laminate.
