A flexible structure includes two or more electronic and/or electromagnetic devices, electrical connection being made between the devices by flexible and compressible electrically conductive plugs located within cavities or holes formed within the flexible structure. The structure is assembled so that the plugs are compressed between electrical contacts formed on or connected to the respective devices. As a result, good electrical contact is maintained between the devices. Additionally, if the structure is flexible, when the flexible structure is bent or deformed, the plugs bend or deform with the rest of the flexible structure so that the electrical connections between the plugs and the respective device electrical contacts are not broken. |
