ABSTRACT:
A normally closed connector apparatus for electrically connecting first and second circuit members. An electrically insulative connector housing having a first portion translatable relative to a second portion is provided. The connector housing is adapted to be positioned substantially between the first and second circuit members. A plurality of resilient contact members are retained in the first portion of the housing. The contact members have first distal ends that do not extend substantially above an upper surface of the second portion. Displacement of the second portion relative to the first portion in a translated configuration positions the first distal ends of the contact members above the upper surface of the second portion to electrically couple with the first circuit member.
