1. A stretchable electronic circuit, comprising:

  • a stretchable base substrate having a plurality of stretchable conductors formed onto a surface thereof;

    both the base substrate and conductors being bendable together about at least two orthogonal axes;

    a stretchable sensor layer attached to the base substrate and having a surface mount device (SMD) cavity formed therein, the SMD cavity including at least one contact point exposing at least one of the plurality of stretchable conductors; and

    an SMD package having a conductor contact protrusion installed into the SMD cavity, wherein a substantially constant electrical connection is established between the conductor contact protrusion and the stretchable conductor at the contact point by tensile forces interacting between the stretchable base substrate and the stretchable sensor layer.
