ABSTRACT:
An electronic assembly is disclosed comprising a molded dielectric connector means including an electronic package mounted therewithin, the connector means 80 being adapted to be secured to a framework. The connector means includes first and second molded member 82,110 securable together at an interface. The first molded member has outwardly facing surface portion including an interconnection region 94, and includes compliant spring portions 90 integral therewith portions and extending outwardly therefrom at the interface. The compliant spring portions 90 are adapted to be deflected by the second molded member 110 upon assembly of the molded members. Circuit means 92 are included on the first molded member 82 and are defined along the outside surface portions and extending along outwardly facing surface portions of the compliant spring portions 90 and further extending to interconnection region 94. The second molded member 110 includes a portion engagable with the compliant spring portion 90 and circuit means 164, defined on said engagable portion. Upon assembly of the first and second molded members the conductive portions 164 of the second molded member 110 are held under compression against the spring circuit surface 91 and upon mounting the assembly to said framework, the interconnection section 94 of the first molded member circuitry is electrically connected to corresponding contact means along the framework. In the preferred embodiment, resilient member 93 is used to support the spring arm portions 90 to minimize stress on the spring portions 90.
