ABSTRACT:
A flexible power distribution system comprises a modular electrical connector assembly (10) has complete plug-in connections between a power supply and a "mother" board (12) or backplane which carries a plurality of "daughter" PC boards (13). The system includes a male contact member (30) in a receptacle (15) adapted to be received within a female contact member (45) in a plug (14), when the plug (14) is slidably inserted into the receptacle (15). Respective guard means are provided to prevent one's finger from being inserted into either the plug (14) or receptacle (15), respectively, to contact the female and male contact members therein; and the respective guard means mesh therebetween when plug (14) is inserted into receptacle (15). Male contact member (30) includes a plurality of relatively long and narrow compliant beam contact elements (35), each of which is provided with a coined spherical tip (36) engaging the female contact member, thereby compensating for any torsional stresses on the contact elements. Means are provided for interlocking adjacent modules together in a side-by-side stacked array on a respective PC board.
