ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector including dual contacts comprising an insulating support, an arcuately stressed spring having each end confined within the support, and a flexible printed circuit stretched over the spring is provided. The contact function is accomplished by the flexible circuit. The spring is adapted to deflect and resiliently flex at its midpoint during engagement with a mating contact at which time the spring surfaces on both sides of their midpoints resiliently press the flexible circuit against the mating contact. The resilient flexure of the spring provides redundant pressure points between the flexible printed circuit and the mating contact and eliminates the need for a spring having both the sufficient resilience and the necessary conductive properties.
