Abstract
An electrical connector includes a plurality of trapped bow contacts soldered at respective tail portions to termination pads on a printed circuit board and adapted to deform upon engagement with inserted connector pins to provide large surface area electrical connections with such pins without applying any stress to the solder joints at the printed circuit board. The contacts are carried on an interstitial member adapted for location within a housing structure, and such member and contacts may be removed and replaced by a similar different size member and/or contacts for electrical connection with connector pins of a different corresponding size and/or spacing.
