Flexible Multilayer Encapsulation of Electrical Connections

An electrical connection encapsulation device (12; 12') for electrically connecting a flexible flat cable (14) to discrete electrical wires (46, 48) is presented. The electrical connection encapsulation device (12') comprises a flexible flat cable (14) with a dielectric, planar, flexible carrier (16) and at least one electrically conductive line (22, 24, 26, 28) attached to at least one surface (20), a first flat, soft and pliable material layer (50) and a second flat, soft and pliable material layer (52), attached to the first surface (18) and the second surface (20) of the flexible carrier (16), respectively, by adhesive bonds, at least one electrical connector member (32, 34, 36, 38) that is electrically connectable to a discrete electrical wire (46, 48) at one end and to the a least one electrically conductive line (22, 24, 26, 28) with the other end at least in an operational state. The first (50) and second flat, soft and pliable material layers (52) are arranged to at least partially overlap the at least one electrically conductive line (22, 24, 26, 28) in the connecting end region (40) in the perpendicular direction (44), and to extend beyond the end of the at least one electrical connector member (32, 34, 36, 38) that is facing away from the connecting end region (40).
