Abstract: A pluggable electrical connector (10) is provided having contact elements (20) with first ends (32) soldered to a daughter board (40), mid-sections (36) which are crimped and bent through ninety degrees, and second ends (34) which have a converging portion and which terminate in bifurcated conical contact portions (38) which make contact with the rims of contact-quality plated through holes (51) of a mother board (50). By causing contact between the rim and the cone surface, normal forces greater than the mating force are generated. The connector housing (30) includes self-centering funnel openings (66) adjacent the mother board for centering the converging portions (37) of the contact elements (20) therein in a nominal position and for acting as a preloading stop. The housing also includes side-wall locking tabs (72) which hold adjacent rows of contacts at identical fixing points relative to the ninety-degree bend to ensure identical spring parameters for all contact elements.

Abstract: Electrical connectors are provided with spring contact elements (220f) each having a tapered contact portion (221) for mating with the plated rim of a hole. The tapered contact portion can be configured as a bifurcated cone, a suitably shaped wire (421), or other tapered, flexible contact. Besides the contact portion, the contact elements also include spring portions (236f), which can assume various configurations and tail portions (323) which can also assume various configurations. Where the tapered contact portion is a suitably shaped wire (421), the spring portion and the contact portion are essentially the same. The tail portions can be arranged to have tapered contact portions where permanent connection of the tail is not desired. The disclosed electrical connectors have housings (230) for the spring contact elements (220f), and a first make, last break function can be provided by configuring the housings appropriately. The holes with which the tapered spring contact elements mate can be part of a printed circuit board (250), a flex circuit (350h), or other object.

Abstract translation: 电连接器设置有弹簧接触元件（220f），每个弹簧接触元件具有锥形接触部分（221），用于与孔的电镀边缘配合。 锥形接触部分可以被配置为分叉锥体，适当形状的线（421）或其它锥形柔性接触件。 除了接触部分之外，接触元件还包括可以呈现各种构造的弹簧部分（236f）和也可以呈现各种构造的尾部部分（323）。 在锥形接触部分是适当形状的线（421）的情况下，弹簧部分和接触部分基本相同。 尾部可以被布置成具有锥形接触部分，其中不期望尾部的永久连接。 所公开的电连接器具有用于弹簧接触元件（220f）的壳体（230），并且可以通过适当地配置壳体来提供第一制动，最后断路功能。 锥形弹簧接触元件配合的孔可以是印刷电路板（250），柔性电路（350h）或其它物体的一部分。
