Abstract
A contact assembly for a circuit board includes a first side with a conductive pad disposed thereon and a second side also having a conductive pad disposed thereon. The contact assembly further includes a conductive contact member. The conductive contact member has an arm with a central portion and an end portion adjacent to the central portion. The contact member also has a second arm which has a central portion and an end adjacent to that central portion. The conductive contact member also includes a junction at the connection between the two arms. The conductive contact member is designed to contact the circuit board. When implemented, it electrically connect the two conductive pads of the circuit board. This attachment creates a complete circuit between the two sides of the circuit board. Additionally, a holder member is coupled to the conductive contact member substantially near the junction and substantially opposite the circuit board.
