ABSTRACT:
Electrical connector for connecting opposed conductors on spaced-apart printed circuit boards or the like comprises a connector housing body having oppositely directed sides which have trough-like recesses therein. Elastomeric bodies are provided in the recesses and have surface portions which normally project beyond the oppositely directed sides. A flexible circuit having closely spaced parallel conductors thereon is held on the elastomeric bodies and extends over the projecting portions of these bodies and across a side of the housing body which is between the opposed oppositely directed sides. In use, the connector is clamped between opposed surfaces of the printed circuit boards with the conductors on the flexible circuit in engagement with conductors on the printed circuit boards. The elastomeric bodies are held in a compressed condition and provide the contact force which urges the conductors on the flexible circuit against the conductors on the printed circuit boards thereby to form electrical paths extending between corresponding conductors on the printed circuit boards.
