Abstract
An intermediate connector is for mounting on a printed circuit card so that a first face of the connector bears against the card, and so that a second face thereof receives a substrate of an electronic circuit. It interconnects contact areas provided on the substrate and tracks on the card. The connector has an insulating support having regularly spaced apart through-passages that receive respective electrical signal contacts, each of which connects one contact area to a track. Each contact is a cut out piece of metal sheet and has a rigid branch for fastening it to the support, and a flexible branch that is S-shaped. Each passage is defined by partitions and slidably receives a corresponding rigid branch and it has abutment shoulders that are spaced apart by an interval eo, The abutment closest to the first face is at a predetermined height ho relative thereto. The rigid branch extending along the passage has two mutually facing abutment shoulders that are spaced apart by a determined interval eo greater than e. The contact projects a distance h from the shoulder closest to the second face and h is less than ho.
