ABSTRACT:
An electrical device (40) has a contact (58) for electrically interconnecting with a second device. The contact (58) is disposed on a rib (60) extending downward from the top of an upper housing (42) of the electrical device. The contact (58) has a cantilevered arm extending from a downward portion (68), and terminates in a contact head (78) which extend upwards through an opening (56). The downward portion (68) of the contact (58) has a contact point (72) for contacting an exposed conductor (50) deflectably mounted on a printed circuit board (46), which is disposed in a lower housing (44). When the upper and lower housings (42) and (44) are assembled together, the contact point (72) is pressed against the exposed conductor (50), deflecting it, and forming a gas tight solderless electrical connection.
