An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.
