Elastomeric connectors are rubberized layers of conductive and insulating materials. They are used to connect liquid crystal displays to circuit boards. Elastomeric connectors have benefits over your typical pin type connectors in that they are easier to install than the pin connectors and can protect the LCD against damage from shock and vibration in many [...]
