Connector for printed circuit boards for effecting a resilient pressure contact with at least one conductive surface

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention concerns a connector for effecting a resilient pressure contact with a printed circuit board 106. It comprises a housing 101 provided with connection means 102 and 103 containing a contact constituted by an insulating supple strip 107 carrying, on its outside surface, two series of metal tracks 108 and 109 and a series of spring blades 110 and 111 comprising swellings 119 and 120 intended to apply, on metal tracks 108 and 109 constant pressure. In this way, when the printed circuit board 106 is introduced in passageway 117, the metal tracks 104 and 105 are connected electrically to connection means 102 and 103.
