ABSTRACT:
A backplane connector system for electrically interconnecting an electronic module to a backplane assembly using a solder-free technique is described. A plurality of mating pads of conductive material are positioned on the surface of the backplane as a system interface. A corresponding series of plunger contacts are embedded in rows of cavities within a single connector body. At least one button spring having an elastic response to deformation is positioned within the cavities and touches the plunger contacts. The connector body, which has a variety of configurations, is attached to either the electronic module or to the backplane assembly. Upon installation of the electronic module into the backplane assembly, the plunger contacts depress into the button springs. The elastic response of the button springs holds the connection in compression and forms a compliant, solder-free, electrical interface.
