A system for connecting a transducer array to a coaxial cable. A fanout
flex circuit is electrically connected to the coaxial cable, to form one
subassembly, and a transducer flex circuit is incorporated into a
transducer stack in electrical connection with the transducer array, to
form another subassembly. The fanout flex circuit has a row of terminals
of first linear pitch at one end and a row of terminals of second linear
pitch, less than the first linear pitch, at the other end. The terminals
of first linear pitch are electrically connected to the wires of the
coaxial cable. The terminals of second linear pitch are electrically
connected to a row of free terminals of the same linear pitch on the
transducer flex circuit. A layer of pressure-activated conductive adhesive
is applied on one row of terminals and then the other row of terminals is
pressed against the adhesive-coated row. Then the adhesive is cured,
thereby mass-connecting the signal electrodes of the transducer array to
the wires of the coaxial cable in one step by simply adhering
complementary ends of separate flex circuits.
