ABSTRACT:
An improved connector for an electronic module of the type that has a number of leads positioned on an underside adjacent to at least one edge thereof includes a housing having a socket opening that is sized and configured to accept an electronic module, and a plurality of terminals mounted to the housing. Each of the terminals has a first leg portion that includes a cam surface that is constructed and arranged to be engaged by an edge of an electronic module during insertion to control insertion force and distance, and a second leg portion that is connected to the first leg portion and has a contact surface for contacting at least one lead on an underside of the electronic module. An elastomeric absorber is positioned between the second leg portion and the housing for biasing the second leg portion upwardly against the underside of the electronic module when the electronic module is fully inserted into said connector. The elastomeric absorber may have conductive traces deposited thereon for establishing electrical connections between the terminals. As a result, contact forces and insertion forces can be precisely set in a simple and inexpensive manner.
