ABSTRACT:
A low inductance electrical compression connector for a disc drive interconnecting conductors of a flex circuit to conductive traces on a PCB, the electrical compression connector having a dielectric housing with a plurality of spaced apart insulator portions and conductive compression contacts disposed between the insulator portions. The insulator portions, the dielectric housing and the conductive compression contacts form open ended deflection cavities disposable above the PCB. First ends of the conductive compression contacts and solderable to conductive traces on the PCB, while second ends of the conductive compression contacts are pre-load spring contacts disposable above respective deflection cavities. Inserting the conductors of the flex circuit beneath the pre-load spring contacts into the deflection cavities causes the pre-load spring contacts to engage the conductors of the flex circuit to secure the flex circuit against the printed circuit while providing electrical contact.
