circuit foam

[mustsurf]

Hello,
I remember my old Palm Pilot used a foam pad to connect the circuit board to the display instead of a ribbon cable. This was a layered material alternating conductive/non-conductive. Does anyone know what this is called or who makes it?
Thanks,
Jim

I think the name Zebra Connector is trademarked.

The industry calls them "[blue]elastomeric connectors[/blue]".

Here is the best site I know of that discusses them:
