ABSTRACT:
This invention hereof is directed to a high density electrical connector utilizing a flexible film having etched circuitry thereon for electrically interconnecting to conductive traces or pads on at least a pair of planar electronic devices. The connector includes a pair of opposed housing members, where each housing member comprises a plurality of aligned housing segments. The segments are characterized by a pair of end walls and at least a pair of planar sides containing plural, parallel grooves for receiving coiled springs therein, where the springs are positioned to apply a normal force to the overlying flexible film. An improved feature thereof is the provision that each housing segment is arranged in end-to-end relationship with another segment such that the respective grooves are aligned to define a continuous groove between adjacent, aligned segments, and that the end walls are profiled to present a sawtoothed configuration which when arranged together interfit to form an essentially continuous planar side. Further, by this construction, the end wall junction within a groove between adjacent segments is angularly disposed relative to the axis of the grooves. The coiled springs are arranged within the grooves so that the convolutions thereof are oppositely angled to that of the angle of the junction within the groove.
