    Abstract: Integrated multilayer structure (100, 200, 240, 280, 400,580, 640, 740, 900, 1300, 1400) comprising: a substrate film (102) comprising electrically substantially insulating material; a circuit design (106, 108, 109) comprising electrically conductive elements (106) provided on the substrate film, said conductive elements defining a number of contact areas (107); a connector (110) at the edge (102E) of the substrate film, the connector comprising a number of electrically conductive elongated contact elements (118), such as pins, connected to the contact areas of the conductive elements of the circuit design on the substrate film while further extending from the substrate film to couple to an external connecting element (112) responsive to mating the external connecting element with the connector; and at least one plastic layer (104, 104B, 105) molded onto the substrate film so as to at least partially cover the circuit design and only partially cover the connector, the covered portions including connection points of the contact elements with the contact areas and at least partially excluding the extended portions of the contact elements configured to couple to the external connecting element. A corresponding method of manufacture is presented.
