Abstract
A spring-loaded interconnect includes a forward interconnect subassembly and a rearward interconnect subassembly with a flexible cable extending between each subassembly. The flexible cable includes a plurality of curved sections, and a plurality of substantially straight sections integral with the plurality of curved sections. The plurality of curved sections and the plurality of substantially straight sections are pre-configured within the spring-loaded interconnect such that the flexible cable and a spring compress, relax, and axially travel a predetermined distance when at least one external load is applied to at least one end of the spring-loaded interconnect.
