Abstract
An electrical connector having stress-free resiliently deformable contacts is shown. The connector includes a plurality of elongate contacts having first and second opposed ends. Movement is permitted between respective ends by incorporating a plurality of independently resiliently deformable transition regions in the contacts between the ends thereof. These transition regions permit the contacts to be movable in three dimensions without placing undue stress on either the contact or the fixed terminal ends.
