ABSTRACT:
A rotationally actuated compliant electrical connector includes a male connector member having an elongated body with a head at one body end, and a female connector member having a generally hollow body with an internal cavity. The male connector member includes at least one electrical contact disposed within the head adjacent a tip. The head is positioned perpendicular to the male connector member body. The female connector member includes at least one electrical contact disposed within the cavity and adapted to connect with respective electrical contacts of the male connector member when the head of the male connector member is rotatably displaced within the cavity. The male and female connector members are each adapted to accommodate pivoting rotational movement of the head within the cavity to produce electrical connection between respective electrical contacts. The male and female connector members each include a complementary mechanism to provide releasable locking attachment between the male and female connector members, when electrical connection between respective electrical contacts is achieved, that is independent of the electrical contacts.
