Abstract: An electrical assembly is disclosed in which two flexible printed circuits are electrically joined. This allows greater lengths of flexible printed circuits to be provided, for example for gas turbine engine harnesses. Each flexible printed circuit has a terminating region having electrically conductive through holes that are connected to respective electrical tracks of the flexible printed circuit. The terminating regions are adjacent each other in the electrical assembly, and an electrically conductive pin is passed through the aligned through holes, then permanently bonded in position, for example by welding. This results in a robust, reliable connection of two flexible printed circuits.
