Abstract
A high density electrical connector is disclosed in which a stack of insulative strips are provided with multiple series of aligned contact cavities extending through the stack. The contacts for the connector have opposite ends which extend outside the opposite faces of the stack, and middle V-shaped resilient portions which cause the ends of the contacts to resiliently engage conductive pads on printed circuit boards mounted on opposite sides of the stack. The middle portion of each contact extends from the cavity in one strip into the cavity of the adjacent strip, so that the length of the middle portion can be increased, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the ends of the contacts.
