  • Publication number: 20210366866
    Abstract: The present inventive concept relates to an unfoldable layered connection comprising: a substrate; a node of connector material arranged to contact the substrate; a first extension comprising a core of connector material arranged to be in contact with the node, and flexible material arranged to at least partially enclose the core; a second extension comprising a core of connector material arranged to be in contact with the first extension via a second node of connector material, wherein the first extension is configured to be hingedly connected to the node, thereby allowing unfolding of the first extension along a z-axis being perpendicular to an extension plane of a major surface of the substrate; and wherein the second extension is hingedly connected to the second node, thereby allowing unfolding of the second extension along the z-axis, and wherein the second node is moveable along the z-axis via unfolding of the first extension.

  • Publication number: 20210272922
    Abstract: The present inventive concept relates to a foldable layered connection comprising: a substrate having a first major surface and an opposing second major surface; a node of connector material arranged to contact the substrate via the first major surface; a released extension comprising a core of connector material arranged to be in communicative contact with the node of connector material, and flexible material arranged to at least partially enclose the core; wherein the released extension is configured to be hingedly connected to the node and to fold towards the second major surface, and wherein a portion of the core of connector material is exposed, forming a contact of connector material, wherein the contact is electrically isolated from the second major surface and arranged such that it is facing away from the second major surface when the released extension is folded towards the second major surface.
