ABSTRACT:
A connector arrangement for providing electrical interconnection between coresponding contact pads of opposed first and second circuit boards includes an electrically nonconductive support member disposed between the boards, a bodily-rotatable, electrically conductive interconnect element extending through the thickness of the support and having a pair of pad engagement surfaces disposed to engage the respective contact pads, and a clamp for retaining the circuit boards in a clamped-together relationship with the support member in a compressed, reduced thickness state and with the interconnect member bodily rotated. The support member includes resilient elastomeric material, has support surfaces respectively opposed to the board surfaces, and is adapted to be compressed by urging of the boards together. A line projected through the engagement surfaces at the time of their initial engagement upon the contact pads is disposed at an initial, acute angle to the direction of thickness of the support member, and, when being rotated, the same line lies at an acute angle to the direction of thickness of the support greater than the initial angle, the body of the support being locally deformed by the interconnect element and resiliently biasing the interconnect element towards its original position, into engagement with the pads.
