ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (40) in which the elements (42, 44) providing electrical contact are separate from the element insuring sufficient normal contact force. The assembly is capable of operating at elevated temperatures by utilizing a stainless steel spring member (46) to provide the contact force, since stainless steel maintains its resiliency at high temperatures. The conducting elements (42, 44) are formed of a conductive material which maintains its conductivity over a wide range of temperatures. The assembly holds the conducting elements in a stack so that only a single spring member is required.
