Abstract
An electrical interconnect system is provided including a substrate and an array of electrical contacts held in the substrate. Each of the electrical contacts includes a nonconductive elastomeric element and an associated conductive element. The nonconductive element has opposite ends that are disposed beyond respective opposite sides of the substrate. The conductive element includes a body having opposite ends that are disposed exteriorly of the respective opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element. The opposite ends of the nonconductive elastomeric element resiliently press against the respective opposite ends of the conductive element when a force is applied to the electrical contact.
