ABSTRACT:
Connectors systems for electrically interfacing contacts to surfaces. The connectors (10) comprise a printed wiring board (30) adapted to receive a connector element (80) which communicates data from an outside source to a device (140) , a housing (20) for mounting the printed wiring board (30), and a securing barrel (120) interfaceable through the printed wiring board and further matable to a mating surface (240) in the device (140) for securing the printed wiring board (30) to a substrate (150) such that the printed wiring board makes effective electrical contact with the substrate (150). Connector systems described and claimed herein are matable and unmatable to an electronic, diagnostic, or other analytical device which utilizes data bussed through the device through the connector. Thus, these connectors (10) are versatile and highly reliable for achieving high integrity electrical interface in the device (140) utilizing the data signals.
The connector system is adapted to be mated with zero insertion force required during initial placement and engagement at the contact interface, after which a rugged manually activated camming system provides substantial mechanical advantages to establish assured contact normal force in a high density mating contact array, and which is easily unmated.
