Electrical circuit suspension system

A device for adding and connecting circuit means to an electrical connector, said device comprising:

• an electrically and mechanically insulative body that changes shape and dimension so that said device fits snugly against at least one coupling means;
• circuit means suspended by said body and comprising electrical interconnects permitting components of said circuit means to move with respect to each other as said body changes shape;
• and
• contact means interconnected with said circuit means and protruding from said body for making electrical connection to said at least one coupling means;
• wherein an area of said body is approximately 5% to 15% greater than an inner area of the connector.
