Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to electrically conductive connection between a first electrically conductive element and a second electrically conductive element on a textile carrier material. In one example embodiment, the electrically conductive connection includes an electrically conductive thermal transfer adhesive arranged on the carrier material and creates an electrically conductive connection between the first conductive element and the second conductive element. The electrically conductive connection is positioned in electrically conductive contact with the first conductive element and the second conductive element.

A component carrier, wherein the component carrier includes: i) a layer stack with at least one electrically conductive layer structure and/or at least one electrically insulating layer structure, ii) a bendable portion which forms at least a part of the layer stack, and iii) a metal layer which forms at least a part of the bendable portion. Hereby, the metal layer extends over at least 75% of the area of the bendable portion.

A conductive bump electrode structure includes a substrate, an elastic circuit layer, at least two conductive bumps, and an insulating layer. The elastic circuit layer is mounted on the substrate, and includes at least one elastic circuit. The at least two conductive bumps are mounted on the elastic circuit layer, and are electrically connected to each other through the at least one elastic circuit. The insulating layer is mounted on the elastic circuit layer, and includes at least two holes. Since there is a gap between the conductive bumps, the conductive bump electrode structure is easy to be bent and fit body curves of various parts of a user. The elastic circuit can stretch or compress along with the user's movement due to its elasticity, thereby increasing suitability of the conductive bump electrode structure to the human body.
