Claim:
1. An electrical assembly comprising a first flexible printed circuit and a second flexible printed circuit, each flexible printed circuit comprising: a plurality of respective electrically conductive tracks embedded in a flexible material; and a terminating region having terminating holes extending therethrough, each of the tracks of the flexible printed circuit terminating at a terminating hole, wherein: the respective terminating regions of the first and second flexible printed circuits are directly adjacent each other; the electrical assembly also comprises a plurality of connection pins, each of which extends between a respective terminating hole of the first and second flexible printed circuits; each connection pin is permanently bonded to its respective terminating holes so as to form a permanent electrical connection between respective tracks of the first and second flexible printed circuits; the terminating regions are substantially planar; each terminating hole has a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the terminating regions; and the terminating regions are positioned such that longitudinal axes of the terminating holes of the first flexible printed circuit are aligned with longitudinal axes of corresponding terminating holes of the second flexible printed circuit.
