Title: Electrical connector

Abstract: A matrix connector comprises an elastomer body presenting a pair of opposite contact surfaces at each of which is disposed a multiplicity of spaced contacts, the contacts of the opposite faces being interconnected by conductors extending through the body, the contacts are defined by folds of the conductors extending through the elastomeric mass, convex portions of the folds being exposed at the opposite faces. Suitably such a connector is made forming the conductive strips on opposite faces of a flexible printed circuit, and interconnected at overlapping portions through holes in the flexible lamina. The lamina is folded in concertina form with adjacent limbs spaced by strips of partially cured elastomer. The assembly is then compressed and cured.
