A miniature circuit board edge connector having a very short electrical contact path is taught. Briefly stated, an insulative housing has contained therein a resiliently flexible and electrically conductive contact. A camming device is disposed in the housing and impinges upon the contact and through lateral motion of the cam, urges the contact vertically downward so as to cause downward and outward movement of a portion of the contact with respect to the housing which thereby comes in contact with an electrically conductive path on a daughter board which is adjacent thereto. A portion of the contact is in slidable electrical communication with a conductive post which is mounted in the base of the connector assembly and attached to a mother circuit board. The electrical path between the daughter board circuit board and the mother board conductive post through the contact is very short and in a slightly arcuate manner and minimizes inductive, capacitive and propagation delay effects.

A device for connecting leadless integrated circuit packages to a chip carrier housing or socket and then to a printed circuit board is taught. Briefly stated, a mask is selectively disposed on a printed circuit board. Locating ribs are correspondently disposed on a chip carrier housing so as to cooperatively engage the slots created by the absence of the mask on the printed circuit board. Additionally, barriers for separating contacts contained in the chip carrier housing are maintained at the interior and the exterior portion of the chip carrier housing walls with no material disposed therebetween thereby minimizing capacitive as well as inductive effects which may come about. Additionally, four discrete interlocking brackets are disposed on top of the chip carrier housing which allow for complete assembly of the chip carrier to the printed circuit board before mating of an integrated circuit chip with the retaining brackets then interlocked so as to relatively rigidly maintain a chip carrier in electrical contact with the contacts. The present device therefore allows for relatively fast accurate alignment of all attendant contact surfaces.

A high speed socket housing having a relatively simple manner of contact inspection and/or replacement is taught. Briefly stated, the device includes a chip carrier housing having a portion which is removable therefrom and which thereby exposes the contacts contained in slots or partitions in the housing. Thereby, upon removal of a portion of the housing an inspection, replacement, and/or testing of individual contacts may be accomplished without disturbing the remainder of the contacts or removal of the entire chip carrier housing from a printed circuit board.

A smart card reader 10 is disclosed having a base 12 which is profiled to have a card receiving area 20. Contacts 22,23 are disposed inside a contact receiving 32 of the base and are pivotable about a leg 40. Insertion of a smart card 60 causes the contacts 22,23 to pivot about the pivot point 42 in order to cause contact points 50 to engage contact pads of the smart card 60.

A connector (10) for interconnecting circuitry (12, 16) of two circuit boards (14, 18) which carry relatively high frequency signals, includes a receptacle connector (20) and a mating plug connector (24). The receptacle connector (20) includes shield plates (56) between each adjacent pair of signal contacts (58) and the mating plug connector (24) includes a central elongated ground plate (136) that electrically engages each of the shield plates (56). The ground plate (136) includes a plurality of leads (142) along its length that engage ground pads on the circuit board (18). The plug connector (24) includes an outer shield (146) that substantially surrounds the plug connector (24) and includes leads (148) that are attached to the leads (142) of the elongated ground plate (136).

A multicontact electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a substrate-receiving face. A trough-like opening extends into the face for reception of a substrate. In the housing are spaced-apart terminals having free ends which are proximate to the substrate-receiving face and fixed ends which are proximate to an inner end of the opening. Contact surfaces are on the free ends for contacting spaced-apart terminal pads on the substrate. Contact engagement camming means are provided for flexing the terminals and moving the free ends from the opening allowing the substrate to be placed in the opening under reduced insertion force conditions. As the free ends of the terminals are subsequently moved, the contact surfaces of the free ends will be resiliently biased against the terminal pads. Contact wipe camming means are provided to move the contact surfaces across the terminal pads as normal force occurs permitting a wiping action to take place. A locking means is provided to hold the substrate in place as the wiping action occurs. This assures that the contact surfaces and the terminal pads, where engagement therebetween takes place, are cleaned and a positive electrical connection is effected.

An electrical connector assembly 2 for use in connecting parallel printed circuit boards includes a receptacle connector 4 and a plug connector 6. The receptacle connector 4 includes receptacle contacts 8, each of which includes a surface mount solder tail 16 and a mating contact section in the form of a resilient arm 26 on opposite sides of a sealing pad 18 that seals a contact insertion opening 38 when the receptacle contact 8 is fully inserted. The mating contact portion is therefore isolated from contaminating materials, such as solder flux during surface mount solder operations. The height of the connector assembly 2 can be adjusted by using plug connectors 6 of different heights with a universal receptacle connector 4. The height of the side walls 60 on the plug housing 12, between a plug mating section and contact retention section is changed for different plug connector heights. The length of the plug contact 10 can also changed because the plug contact solder tail 56 is bent into its final position after the plug contacts 10 are mounted on the plug housing 12.

A connector for electrically connecting circuit members having a high density of contact pads located in an area array, the connector having an area array specific holder that is simple to produce for retainably positioning mass-produced standardized contact modules containing a deformable contact within a module body for interconnecting the contact pads, where the contact is constructed to be supportingly engaged by the module body to provide sufficient opposing spring force to effect a wiping interconnection between the contact and the contact pads.
