Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8902172A1] An improved connector (10) for attaching a mother board (14) to a daughter board (12) has a slotted housing (15), a slotted elastomeric member (28) disposed within the housing (15), and a flexible circuit (34) with numerous conductors (45) thereon wrapped around the elastomeric member (28) with its two free ends extending partially across the slot (29) of the elastomeric member (28). When the daughter board (14) is inserted into the housing (15), it deflects the free ends of the flexible circuit (34) into the slot (29) of the elastomeric member (28). The elastomeric member (28) has a portion (30) projecting out of the housing (15) such that, when the housing (15) is fastened to the mother board (14), the elastomeric member (28) is compressed causing it to exert more presssure on the electrical conductors (45) of the flexible circuit (34) as they contact connector pads (53, 55) of the mother board (14).
