    Abstract: An electrical contact assembly comprised of four identical modules arranged in a four-sided formation. Each module comprises of a bottom housing formed with two rows of through holes to allow a row of front and back contact pairs to be inserted, with separators in between each pair to prevent electrical conductance between the pairs. A top housing is then lowered onto the top of these contact pairs. With the aid of a key tool, the rows of contact pairs are inserted into through holes in the top housing. By virtue of different heights between the front and back rows of through holes, the front and back contact rows are inserted one first, and then the other. This allows for easier installation of an assembly with minimal tolerance accumulation.

    Abstract: An electrical test contact electrically connects a test terminal of an Integrated Circuit (IC) test assembly with an IC terminal of an IC device in an electrical interconnect assembly. The test contact is formed of electrically conductive material and includes a head portion and a foot portion. The head portion includes a first electrical contacting portion for electrically engaging an IC terminal of an IC device during use, and the foot portion includes a second electrical contacting portion for electrically engaging a test terminal of a test assembly during use. The head portion includes a head receiving portion that receives a first resiliently biasing member to retain the first resiliently biasing member in contact with the test contact. The first resiliently biasing member biases the first electrical contacting portion against the IC terminal of the IC device during use. An electrical interconnect assembly having multiple test contacts is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An electrical contact that employs a common compressible layer for all contacts, wherein the compressible layer is fashioned with ducts that contain bridges within them. The bridges are formed of the compressible layer. This bridge serves as a compressible member for a first and second member in electrical contact with each other, and that interact with each other such that a compression force acted on the first and second members will cause them to maintain electrical contact while compressing the bridge. When the compressive force is released, the bridge, acting like a spring, expands thus pushing the first and second members apart, but still in electrical contact with each other.

    Abstract: An electrical contact assembly that uses an elastomer strip for each row of individual contacts. Each contact comprises a rigid bottom pin and a flexible top pin with a pair of arms which extend over and slide along sloped surfaces of the bottom contact. The elastomer strip is located between rows of the bottom and top pins. A bottom socket housing is provided with grooves which receive each elastomer strip. A row of top pins is then placed over each elastomer strip, and through ducts in the bottom socket housing. Bottom pins are then snapped into place in between the pair of arms.

    Abstract: A vertical spring contact is constructed of a single piece of electrical conductor, having a central spine that acts as a spring and does not bulge horizontally during compression. This contact is also provided with a pair of arms extending downwards from a top member, flanking both sides of the central spine without being in contact with the central spine. The lower tips of the arms are bent inwards. The central spine structurally connects the top member to a bottom member. The bottom member is provided with recesses that are adapted to loosely receive the lower tips of the arms. In this way, when the contact is compressed, the lower tips of the arms are pressed into the recesses, thus establishing more contact points for a current to pass through.
