ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an electrical device including first and second electrical components and at least one but usually a plurality of longitudinally-dimensioned flexible electrical contacts. The flexible contact (or contacts) connect the first electrical component to the second electrical component. The flexible contact (or contacts) each have a center portion of greater flexibility than its two end portions. This greater flexibility occurs along, and laterally with respect to, the longitudinal axis of the flexible contact. The flexible contact (or contacts) serve to accommodate relative misalignment of the first and second electrical components. There is also disclosed a method of making the flexible contact.
