Abstract
Conductive pads (126) of a first PCB (114) and conductive pads (128) of a second PCB (116) are electrically coupled. An electrical device includes a housing portion (112) which has an inner face (122) including a protrusive element (200). First PCB (114) has a body (203) and a flexible portion (204) which includes conductive pads (126). An elastomeric connector (208), having an elastomeric face (210) and an elastomeric edge (212), is positioned adjacent to protrusive element (200). First PCB (114) is disposed within inner face (122) of housing portion (112) such that flexible portion (204) bends, preferably at an angle perpendicular to body (203) of first PCB (114), by protrusive element (200). Flexible portion (204) is secured to elastomeric face (210), thus securing conductive layers of elastomeric connector (208) to conductive pads (126). Conductive pads (128) of second PCB (116) are abutted to elastomeric edge (212), thereby electrical coupling conductive pads (126, 128) of first and second PCBs (114, 116).
