    Abstract: A method for producing an elastomeric component, preferably an elastomeric sealing component, including an elastomer body and a printed structure, preferably a printed electronic structure or circuit, on a surface of the elastomer body. The method includes: a. providing a planar foil of thermoplastic material having a printable surface; b. printing a structure onto the printable surface to obtain the printed structure; c. providing an elastomer substrate for forming the elastomer body; d. placing the planar foil with the printed structure onto the elastomer substrate; and e. laminating the combined planar foil and elastomer substrate by applying heat and pressure. The elastomeric component is obtained in that the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body before step d); the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body during lamination; or the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body after lamination.

    Abstract: In the present invention, an electrical connector is formed with contacts on one side of a printed circuit board that are electrically coupled through the board in a known manner. A backing plate formed of a dielectric material is applied to the board over the contacts. The backing plate includes openings extending through the backing plate that are in alignment with the contacts in order to allow electrical connections to be made with the contacts, but while also isolating the contacts from the exterior surface of the backing layer. The backing layer is affixed to the board over the contacts by an adhesive resin layer having an aperture cut into the layer. The aperture cut into the layer surrounds the contacts on the board, and due to the low or no flow nature of the resin, does not flow onto the contacts to cover the contacts.
