ABSTRACT:
A connector (100) includes at least one electrical lead for electrically coupling a first device (100) to a second device (210), a base (110) through which the electrical lead (105) extends, and an upper portion (150) through which the electrical lead (105) also extends. A spring mechanism (135) mechanically couples the base (110) and the upper portion (150) and holds the base (110) away from the upper portion (150), and the upper portion (150) includes an upper guide (145) having a hole formed therein. When the connector (100) is in an open position (in which the connector (100) is electrically inactive), the electrical lead (105) does not extend through the hole in the upper guide (150). When the connector (100) is in a closed position (in which the connector (100) is electrically active), the electrical lead (105) extends through the hole in the upper guide (145).
