Abstract:
A connecting device for achieving a flexible electrical connection of circuit boards, comprising:a plurality of flexible electrical conductors positioned adjacent to each other; and a common insulation surrounding the flexible electrical conductors, the common insulation being made of an electrically non-conductive material, wherein: each flexible conductor includes in respective end areas a first contact area and a second contact area without the common insulation, the flexible electrical conductors and the common insulation are plastically deformable and are shaped in such a way that the first contact area and the second contact area of each of the flexible conductors are directed to a same side, the flexible electrical conductors and the common insulation adjacent to the first contact area and the second contact area are shaped into a shoulder, the shoulders are shaped in such a way that the flexible electrical conductors and the common insulation can be picked up by a tool, and the first contact area and the second contact area are capable of connection to at least one of the circuit boards by machine.
