ABSTRACT:
A contact carrier (10) for a first electrical device comprises a contact body (11) having a top (12), bottom (14), and four sides (16). A protrusion (18) extends from the top (12). First and second pivot protrusions or depressions (22, 23) are located on opposing sides (20, 21) of the contact body (11), and allow the contact body (11) to rotate about the axis (24) of the contact body (11) when the protrusion (18) is engaged by a second electrical device. At least one electrical contact (26) is disposed on a first side (27) of the contact body (11). A flexible circuit board (28) interconnects the electrical contact(s) (26) with the first electrical device and may act to bias the contact body (11) such that the electrical contacts (26) are concealed until protrusion (18) is engaged.
