摘要:
Edge design for a printed circuit board (25) used with a connector (10) having spring biased contact members (23). The printed circuit board has a nose piece (26) bonded thereon which is made of a lubritious, insulating material for deflecting the spring biased contact members without cousing damage to the members or the electrical contacts (36) thereon. In a preferred embodiment, each spring biased member is fixed in the connector at one end (35) and has a bent portion (34) with an electrical contact (36) on the bent portion. The electrical contact is in a impact protected position when its spring biased member is undeflected, and moves to a contact making position for contact with an input/output tab on the printed circuit board as the spring biased member is deflected around its fixed end during the plugging in operation of the printed circuit board.

摘要:
A flex circuit card with an elastomeric cable connector assembly is provided for for transmitting high speed signals between two or more printed circuit boards in a high performance computer system. The flex circuit card connects a cable assembly to a printed circuit board. A conductor trace in the flex circuit card extends into an elastomeric end and terminates with a ball shaped contact (16)which is angled to wipe against mating pads (51) on the printed circuit card (50) for making electrical contact. The cable assembly uses multiple wires attached to a plurality of elastomeric connectors. At least one elastomeric connector is attached to each end of the cable assembly and each elastomeric connector has a plurality of contacts which are used to mate with a plurality of pads on the surface of the printed circuit board. The elastomeric connector described in the present invention provides a high density, cable-to-board interconnection that is perpendicular to the surface of the printed circuit board.
