ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric connector assembly (2) is disclosed for making electrical contact between a first electrical component (52) and a second electrical component (54). The connector assembly has at least one housing member (4, 6) which has a plurality of terminals (12, 14) and an elastomeric connector (16, 18) provided therein. The elastomeric connector electrically engages the terminals to provide numerous electrical pathways which extend through the housing member (4, 6) of the connector assembly (2). A camming means (8, 10) is provided proximate the housing member (4, 6), such that as the camming means (8, 10) is moved from a first position to a second position, the elastomeric connector (16, 18) is compressed to insure that a reliable electrical connection is effected and maintained between the the first electrical component (52) and the elastomeric connection (16, 18), and between the elastomeric connector and the terminals (12, 14).
