Abstract
A flat electrical connector employing axially compressed helical springs for contacts. The springs float in a housing between two flanking insulative members having printed circuit contact areas to mate with each end of each spring. The connecting force required to press one insulative member against one end of each spring is minimal, and the disconnecting force is negative. The springs may power enclosing telescoping contacts that function in the same manner as the springs alone.
