Abstract
A compressible connector assembly which employs a plurality of discrete compressible connectors (10-1 . . .n) bonded together in an array and arranged within a simplified frame housing (12). The bonded structure securely adheres discrete compressible connectors (10-1 . . .n) together using intermediate spacers (14-1 . . .n) which minimize the risk of shorts. In addition, the connector assembly eliminates the expensive conventional molded framework (FIG. 1 ) which is required in existing compressible connector assemblies, and it facilitates close-pitch connections having tighter centerlines than possible in the prior art.
