ABSTRACT:
A connector (10) for interconnecting circuits of adjacent circuit-bearing substrates (50, 60) includes a housing (12) having at least one contact-receiving cavity (20), and a contact (30) disposed in a respective contact-receiving cavity (20) and including a plate-like body section (32) secured in cavity (20). The contact (30) further includes a pair of elongate spring arm contact sections (40) initially co-extending from a common edge (34) of the body section (32) and outwardly from the cavity (20) and from a mounting face (14) of the housing (12). The elongate spring arm contact sections (40) have end portions (42) arcuately diverging from each other to free ends (44) to orient respective continuous arcuate edges (46) thereof to face away from the mounting face (14) to be engaged by associated circuit termini (52, 62) of respective ones of the circuit-bearing substrates (50, 60). The elongate spring arm contact sections (40) are independently deflectable toward the mounting face (14) under spring bias.
