Abstract:
A composite interconnect assembly includes a body structure formed from a composite material (e.g., a carbon graphite material) with one or more conductive traces embedded therein (e.g., a copper or copper alloy). One or more contact regions are provided such that the conductive traces are exposed and are configured to mechanically and electrically connect to one or more electronic components. The body structure may have a variety of shapes, including planar, cylindrical, conical, and the like.
