Zusammenfassung:Miniature electrical connector for forming connections between conductors on parallel spaced apart substrates comprises a generally cylindrical elastomeric body having a thin non-yielding flexible circuit wrapped therearound. The circuit has parallel spaced apart conductors on its surface so that when the connector is positioned between the two parallel substrates and compressed between the substrates, the corresponding conductors on the substrates will be electrically connected by the conductors on the flexible circuit. The flexible circuit is not firmly bonded to the elastomeric body and the body is not significantly deformed when compressed between the substrates. The flexible circuit, being non-yielding is not deformed laterally so that alignment of conductors on the circuit with conductors on the substrate is maintained.
