Abstract: An electrical connection of a transfer station (100) releasably, repeatably electrically couples with respect to a matching connection of a portable cartridge (40). A substrate (50) in the portable cartridge has electrical contacts (51) on a facing surface. In the transfer station, a matching circuitized flexible substrate (136) has electrical contacts (141) on a faci ng surface thereof, which are arranged to match the portable cartridge electric al contacts when in a face-to-face relationship. An elastomeric compression element (132), at the rear of the matching substrate, has individual protruding compression members contacting the rear surface and registered wi th corresponding individual electrical contacts. Elongated electrical contacts are registered with two adjacent individual compression members. A loader engages the portable cartridge, registering the cartridge substrate contacts in face-to-face relation with the matching flexible substrate electrical contacts, and exerting a normal force to the cartridge to compress the compression element and create non-wiping contact between the facing electrical contacts.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (10) for connecting two circuit members (23, 17) (e.g., printed circuit board, flexible cable) each including a plurality of electrical connectors (15, 19) thereon. The assembly includes a pressure exertion member (21) having a substantially rigid (e.g., metallic) base plate (31), a plurality of compressible, silicone rubber elements (33) attached to one surface of the base plate to provide the desired pressure when compressed, and a resilient member (37) attached to an opposing side of the base plate such that compensation is provided for surface elevation variations in the first and/or second circuit members upon compression of the exertion member. The assembly includes a means (51) (e.g., clamp) for retaining the invention's exertion member against one (e.g., the second) of the circuit members in final assembly. The invention is able to provide sound electrical connection over prolonged periods of time and during exposure to relatively harsh environmental conditions (e.g., high heat and moisture).
