Abstract: A flexible conductor device (1) includes an electrically insulating flexible carrier substrate (2) and a printed electrical conductor (12) situated on the flexible carrier substrate. The electrical conductor is defined by at least one elongate circuit (3) which extends between opposite ends (6). The carrier substrate (2) is provided with at least an incision or cut-out (4) extending through the full thickness of the carrier substrate (2) so as to provide enhanced flexibility.

Abstract: A flexible laminate (1) includes an electrically non-conductive substrate (2) with a substantially planar configuration, an electrically conductive element (3) on a surface of the electrically non-conductive substrate, and a layer (4) on a surface of the electrically non-conductive substrate (2). The electrically non-conductive substrate (2), the electrically conductive element (3) and the layer (4) are coaxially punctured forming a punctured region (6). They are connected to each other through a mechanical connection element (5) which extends through the electrically non-conductive substrate (2), the electrically conductive element (3) and the layer (4) at the punctured region (6). The cross-sectional area of the electrically conductive element (3) at the location of the punctured region (6) is larger than the cross-sectional area of the electrically conductive element (3) outside the punctured region (6).
