An elastomeric connector is a type of electrical connector that uses a rubber or silicone-based material to provide both electrical and mechanical connections between two components.
 
Elastomeric connectors are often used in situations where there is a need for a flexible, reliable connection that can accommodate minor misalignments, vibrations, and thermal expansion. They can be used to connect components on printed circuit boards (PCBs), LCD displays, touch panels, and other electronic devices.

The elastomeric connector typically consists of a conductive material, such as carbon or silver, embedded in a rubber or silicone-based material. The connector's conductive elements form a series of small, closely spaced contact points that mate with corresponding contacts on the other device or component.

When the two devices are pressed together, the elastomeric connector deforms to create a secure electrical and mechanical connection between them. Because the elastomeric material is flexible, it can also absorb minor misalignments between the two devices, making it a useful option for applications where precision alignment may not be possible. It provides a tight fit while allowing for more degrees of freedom in board-to-board distance, geometry and position articulation.
