Abstract
A flexible device, such as a powered card or processor based system, may include a connector array. The connector array may be a contact connector such as an EMV connector. The connector array may include discrete connectors connected to landing pads of a circuit board. The discrete connectors may be exposed on a surface of the flexible device, and may be arranged in rows and columns. The discrete connectors may be formed using vias and by introducing material into the vias. A mask may be used to extend a level of the discrete connectors above an outer layer of the flexible device. A personalization layer may be applied to the flexible device to about a level of an outer surface of the connector. The flexible device may be programmed and tested during the application of the personalization layer.
