Abstract (en)
An electrical connector (100) for connecting contact areas on two circuit carrying elements (402,406) is disclosed. The electrical connector includes a male housing (102) including a projection (120) and female housing (104) including a receptacle (200) configured to mate with the projection. Protectively located in apertures disposed through the projection is a plurality of twist pins (110) while extending into the receptacle is a plurality of sockets (210). When the projection and receptacle are mated, the twist pins and sockets connect together. A contact face (162,242) is also included on each of the male and female housings while protruding through each contact face are secondary contacts in electrical communication with either the twist pins or sockets of the respective housing. For connecting the contact area, the contact faces of the two housings are attached to the two circuit carrying elements so that the secondary contacts connect with the contact area and the projection is then mated with the receptacle. <IMAGE>
