Abstract: A connector insert comprising conductive wire and a plurality of layers of conductive and non-conductive elastomers, and methods of fabrication thereof.

Abstract: A connector insert comprising a plurality of layers of conductive elastomer, and a concomitant method of employing a connector insert, the method comprising the steps of fabricating a plurality of layers of conductive elastomer as an insert and placing the insert into a connector.

Abstract: A device and method wherein electrical components are mechanically suspended and electrically interconnected in an insulative elastomeric body, such as silicone, thereby eliminating the need for a circuit board or other circuit substrate. The device can change shape through compression, distension, flexure, and other external forces while maintaining its electrical performance and mechanical integrity. The device can be compressed and deformed to fit snugly within another device, such as the shell of an electrical connector or a plastic clamshell, simultaneously creating spring forces for reliable electrical contacts and an environmental seal. Accordingly, the device and method can be used for a wide variety of purposes such as electrical filtering for avionics, computer or automotive connectors, or a non-intrusive manner to package electronics for medical implants.
