Abstract
An electrical connector that has an array of conductors each having a contact point to make contact with a mating conductive surface. Upon engaging the contact points in a sliding manner with the mating surface, the conductors are displaced, which, in turn, tensions a loading fiber within the connector. Tensioning of the loading fiber provides a contact force between the contact points and the mating surface.
