Summary:Printed flexible hybrid electronic systems may require electrical interconnection to peripheral elements. For example, a printed sensor tag with wireless communication may need to connect to a printed sensing electrode on a separated substrate. Frequently, it is desired that these interconnections be detachable in order to replace peripheral elements or to facilitate low cost and simplified assembly, test, rework, and repair. Unlike conventional printed circuit board, mounting a connector on a flexible substrate for detachable connection is challenging due to low temperature requirements. Provide is a teaching of a thin film or form of electrical connection for two circuit elements on separate flexible substrates. The connection is detachable and re-attachable for replacing different circuit elements. The detachable connection is in embodiments realized by selective deposition of fine patterns of conductive materials and non-conductive repositionable pressure-sensitive adhesive.
