    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a housing (21), a flexible circuit (41) located within the housing and including first and second terminals thereon, a carriage (25) movably positioned within the housing and designed for having a circuit board (13) inserted therein, actuation means (61) connected to the carriage to cause it to move and occupy first and second positions within the housing, and biasing means in the form of a pair of leaf springs (73) which continuously exert biasing force against the carriage during its positioning within the invention's housing. As defined herein, contact is possible between a plurality of individual contact elements which form part of the circuit board and respective terminals located at one end portion of the flexible circuit. Second terminals located at the other end of the flexible circuit are designed for mating with and contacting respective conductors located on the second circuit device. Positive interconnection is thus possible between high density arrays of contact members in a compact structure.

    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).
