ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for electrically interconnecting first and second printed circuit board like members having electrical contacts thereon includes an elongated biasing member for being mounted on the first printed circuit board like member and flexible circuitry mounted on the biasing member. The biasing member possesses arm portions which are spaced apart to define therebetween a longitudinal opening for receiving a second printed circuit board like member. The flexible circuitry mounted on the biasing member includes a plurality of generally parallel-spaced electrical conductors for being electrically connected with the electrical contacts on the first printed circuit board like member when the biasing member is mounted on the first printed circuit board like member. The electrical conductors on the flexible circuitry each terminate at a contact pad and the flexible circuitry is positioned on the biasing member so that the contact pads are positioned on opposite sides of the longitudinal opening to effect an electrical connection with the electrical contacts on the second printed circuit board like member when the second printed circuit board like member is received within the longitudinal opening. An elastomer sheet is positioned between the contact pads of the flexible circuitry and the arm portions of the biasing member for allowing individual contact pads to move relative to other contact pads so as to compensate for height variations of the various electrical conductors on the second printed circuit board like member and thickness variations in the second printed circuit board like member.
