ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed. The connector is made up of first and second housings, one of which is male and the other female. The first housing contains one conductor or two or more opposed conductors. The conductor is made of an elastically deformable and resilient conducting substance. A second housing contains a substrate which carries a conductor in the form of an edge contact pad. The second housing also contains a camming surface or surfaces which interact with the conductor in the first housing. The first and second housings are brought together so that the conductor in the first housing lies opposite the contact pad in the second housing. The housings are then mated. On full mating, the conductor in the first housing is brought into contact with the contact pad in the second housing by the camming surface translates the lateral relative motion of the first and second housings into substantially transverse motion of the conductor in the first housing. The two housings, are held together by a detent so that they will not come apart.
