Abstract
According to the present invention, an electrical connector includes a body having first and second portions. The connector also includes a plurality of first contacts situated in the first portion of the body. Each of said first contacts includes a first end portion configured to be coupled to a conductive member on a printed circuit board and a second free end portion situated within the first portion of the body to define a movable spring contact surface section. The connector further includes a plurality of second contacts situated in the second portion of the body. Each of said second contacts includes a first end portion configured to be coupled to a conductive member on the printed circuit board and a second end portion coupled to the second portion of the body to define a fixed contact surface section. The connector is configured to mate with an identically shaped second connector coupled to a second printed circuit board so that the plurality of movable spring contact surface sections of the first connector engage a plurality of fixed contact surface sections of the second connector and the plurality of fixed contact surface sections of the first connector engage a plurality of movable spring contact surface sections of the second connector to couple the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board.
