Abstract:
A high pin count electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting a set of first conductors to a set of second conductors according to a predetermined connective scheme, and comprising:a) a male-half connector having an array of spring-loaded pins, each said pin being connected to a separate first conductor and defining a pin contact region at its distal tip, and further having a male half connective bracket;b) a female-half connector having an array of receptive contact regions positioned in matching arrangement to said array of spring-loaded pins and each being at least twice the area of the corresponding pin contact region, and each connected to a separate second conductor, and further having a female-half connective bracket configured to releasably mate with said male-half connective bracket so that when said male-half bracket and said female-half bracket are correctly mated together said spring loaded pins are held in contact with said contact regions so that said first conductors and said second conductors are electrically connected according to said predetermined scheme.
