1. An elastically deformable, elastomeric, electrical connector comprising:

  • electrically conductive elements extending in parallel between opposite ends of said connector;

    a first conducting path formed by a portion of the electrically conductive elements;

    a second conducting path which substantially coaxially surrounds the first conducting path and is formed by a set of the electrically conductive elements that may be connected to ground to provide a shielding of the first path;

    alternating conductive slices and intermediate non-conducting slices, said conducting slices defining said electrically conductive elements, at least one of said conducting slices being interrupted by at least two apertures in the form of through holes extending parallel with said conducting slices to thereby form said first conducting path located in a central part of the interrupted slice and the second conducting path, the first conducting path being conductively independent of the second conductive path, the second conducting path connectable to ground by engaging the elastomeric connector to an annular conducting element surrounding the interrupted slice.
