Abstract
An electrical contact system including an elastomeric conductive material of specified shape and size, said conductive material exhibiting a first plurality of electrical contact locations. An electrical power supply connected to the conductive material and communicable with the first electrical contact locations. A like plurality of second electrical contacts are arranged in abutting and substantially two dimensional contact with respect to the first electrical contact locations, an electrically communicable conduit extends from the second contacts. The two dimensional electrical communication established between the abutting first and second contacts allows for a range of misalignment existing therebetween during low current (typically in a range of 1 mA-1A) transfer across the electrical contact system.
