US Patent 10039186 Stretchable and flexible electrical substrate interconnections

A circuit interconnect may be used in biometric data sensing and feedback applications. A circuit interconnect may be used in device device-to-device connections (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) devices), including applications that require connection between stretchable and rigid substrates. A circuit interconnect may include a multi-pin, snap-fit attachment mechanism, where the attachment mechanism provides an electrical interconnection between a rigid substrate and a flexible or stretchable substrate. The combination of a circuit interconnect and flexible or stretchable substrate provides improved electrical connection reliability, allows for greater stretchability and flexibility of the circuit traces, and allows for more options in connecting a stretchable circuit trace to a rigid PCB.
