Abstract
An adaptive magnetic contacting device is described that comprises a plurality of magnets mounted on a flexible printed circuit board. The mounting configuration allows for local bending of the flexible printed circuit board at the point of attachment of each magnet, allowing for direct mating contact between magnetic arrays of devices despite manufacturing variances. The magnets may serve as a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or both.
