Illustrative embodiments of an anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) configured to be cured after being subjected to a magnetic field are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, the ACA may comprise a binder and a plurality of particles suspended in the binder. Each of the plurality of particles may comprise a ferromagnetic material coated with a layer of electrically conductive material and with a moisture barrier, such that the electrically conducting material forms electrically conductive and isolated parallel paths when the ACA is cured after being subjected to the magnetic field. |
