Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for first and second pivotally mounted circuit members includes a dielectric housing portion for each member, each portion having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein, with first and second sets of terminals mounted therein. The housing portions are joined together for pivoting about an axis of rotation. Each terminal of each housing portion has a mating contact surface centrally located with respect to the axis of rotation. A compressive bias force is applied between mating terminal pairs which extends along the axis of rotation.
