A method for manufacturing a flexible connector comprising: providing a planar substrate, which is a multilayer substrate, having transversely spaced top and bottom substrate surfaces (126, 128); defining first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) longitudinally spaced from each other on a selected one of the top and bottom substrate surfaces (126, 128); providing a planar opposing substrate having transversely spaced top and bottom opposing substrate surfaces (132, 134); attaching the substrate and opposing substrate together to at least partially form a unitary connector block including a block body with the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) on an outward-facing surface thereof; depositing a conductive material to generate a first connector port located within the first board-facing area; depositing a conductive material to generate a second connector port located within the second board-facing area; depositing a conductive material on a surface of the substrate to generate a connector trace extending through at least a portion of the block body between the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106); electrically connecting the first and second connector ports (112, 114) with the connector trace, whereby a conducting trace is also provided as buried trace in the substrate; selectively reducing a thickness of one of the substrate and opposing substrate surfaces to define a flexible connector bridge longitudinally interposed between the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106), where the connector bridge and the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) are made from the same material; and facilitating relative angular motion of the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) with the connector bridge. providing a planar substrate, which is a multilayer substrate, having transversely spaced top and bottom substrate surfaces (126, 128); defining first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) longitudinally spaced from each other on a selected one of the top and bottom substrate surfaces (126, 128); providing a planar opposing substrate having transversely spaced top and bottom opposing substrate surfaces (132, 134); attaching the substrate and opposing substrate together to at least partially form a unitary connector block including a block body with the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) on an outward-facing surface thereof; depositing a conductive material to generate a first connector port located within the first board-facing area; depositing a conductive material to generate a second connector port located within the second board-facing area; depositing a conductive material on a surface of the substrate to generate a connector trace extending through at least a portion of the block body between the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106); electrically connecting the first and second connector ports (112, 114) with the connector trace, whereby a conducting trace is also provided as buried trace in the substrate; selectively reducing a thickness of one of the substrate and opposing substrate surfaces to define a flexible connector bridge longitudinally interposed between the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106), where the connector bridge and the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) are made from the same material; and facilitating relative angular motion of the first and second board-facing areas (104, 106) with the connector bridge.
