Abstract
An electromechanical subassembly is comprised of a carrier having a body with a planar surface and multiple holes that extend from the planar surface into the body. A plurality of springy contacts are held in the holes; and they extend, in an uncompressed state, past the planar surface. The plurality of springy contacts include contacts of a first type which each exert a relatively small opposing force when compressed to the planar surface, and contacts of a second type which each exert a substantially larger opposing force when compressed to the planar surface.
