Abstract
A high pin count electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting a set of first conductors to a set of second conductors according to a predetermined connective scheme. The connector assembly includes a male-half connector that has an array of spring-loaded pins, each of which is connected to a separate first conductor, and further has a male half connective bracket. A female-half connector has an array of contact regions positioned in matching arrangement to the array of spring-loaded pins, and each connected to a separate second conductor, and further has a female-half connective bracket configured to releasably mate with said male-half connective bracket so that when said male-half bracket and said female-half bracket are correctly mated together said spring loaded pins are held in contact with said contact regions so that said first conductors and said second conductors are electrically connected according to said predetermined scheme.
