Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A circuitized structure including a flexible circuit (51) with at least one layer (53) of dielectric having a plurality of electrically conductive members (e.g., copper pads (13)) thereon. An elastomeric member (41) including a plurality of upstanding portions (47) each having a respective metallic pad member thereon is utilized, this elastomeric-pad structure being bonded to the flexible circuit at locations relative to respective ones of the conductive members so as to assure substantially independent force exertion thereon, e.g., when the flexible circuit (51) is electrically coupled to a separate, circuitized substrate such as a printed circuit board. A method for making an elastomeric support member for use in such a circuitized substrate is also provided.
