ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically interconnecting a lead of a device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead. The apparatus includes a conductive element comprising a first contact, a shoulder, and a second contact. The first contact is attached to the shoulder and extends upward therefrom, and the second contact is attached to the shoulder and extends downward therefrom. The first contact is electrically coupled to the lead of the device when the lead of the device is brought into engagement with the first contact. The second contact is electrically coupled to the terminal. A support member is positioned below the shoulder of the conductive element and an elastomeric material is positioned between the shoulder of the conductive element and the support member. The elastomeric material resiliently biases the conductive element in an original position. When a downward force is applied to the conductive element, however, the elastomeric material may be overcome thereby allowing the conductive element to move in a downward direction in response to the downward force. The elastomeric material returns the conductive element to the original position when the downward force is removed.
