Patent attributes
A compression connector for interconnecting a two electrical devices including, a housing mounting at least one conductive element defining; a first beam section fastened to the housing in a cantilevered manner allowing resilient deflection and having a first contact region at the fastened end for connection to the first device, and a second beam section extending at a first end thereof in a cantilevered manner from the movable end of the first beam section, the second beam section including a second contact region away from the first end and disposed to engage with compressively, and deflectable by the first device. The conductive element is formed by out of plane bending to position the second beam back over the first beam, so that the wiping action by the first contract region of the second beam in a direction transverse to the compression engagement direction is controlled by geometry selection of the beams.
