A method and system for connecting and using a circuit board connected to
a conductive element is disclosed. The circuit board includes a backstop
and a plurality of conductive traces positioned on an edge. The
conductive element includes a plurality of conductive layers and a
plurality of insulating layers alternately placed along the length of the
conductive element. The conductive element is placed between the edge of
the circuit board having the conductive traces and a clasp prior to
inserting the circuit board into the clasp. The conductive element is
conformed between the circuit board and the clasp. Each conductive trace
contacts a conductive layer as a result of the insertion. The backstop
conforms an extending portion of the conductive element to be
substantially perpendicular to the circuit board. The assembled device
can be used to provide charge to a plurality of electrodes on a substrate
simultaneously.
