ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electrical conductor for use in an electro-mechanical connector of the type which holds an integrated circuit package and connects the package to an electrical system in a replaceable fashion. The electrical conductor is comprised of an elongated piece of material having a U-shaped bend to provide two legs; one of the legs also has a bend of approximately 90.degree. in a first direction at a predetermined distance from said U-shaped bend to thereafter provide a first leg portion for pushing against and making ohmic contact with a corresponding lead in said integrated circuit package; and the other leg also has a bend of approximately 90.degree. in the first direction at another predetermined distance from the U-shaped bend, and another bend of approximately 90.degree. further along its length in a direction perpendicular to the first direction to thereafter provide a second leg portion for making ohmic contact with said electrical system. In this conductor, the respective lengths of the legs between the U-shaped bend and the bends of approximately 90.degree. control the force vs. deflection characteristics by which the first leg portion pushes against the corresponding lead, and the length of the first leg portion of the one leg controls the maximum bending stress in the conductor.
