Abstract:
1. An electrical connector to make an electrical connection between a first electrical device and an electrical trace of a circuit of a second electrical device, said first electrical device being of a kind which includes two surfaces the planes of which are not parallel to each other, wherein a first of said two surfaces has disposed thereon a first conductive pad region and a second of said two surfaces has disposed thereon a second conductive pad region wherein said first and second conductive pad regions are in electrical connection with each other, said electrical connector comprising: a housing at least one conductive element carried by said housing and which includes: wherein the conductive element(s) is carried by said housing to present at least said first contact region in a resiliently movable manner for compressive engagement with said first conductive pad region and said second contact region in a resiliently movable manner for compressive engagement with said second pad region, each of said first and second contact regions being movable in a direction away from but resiliently biased towards the respective pad regions with which said contact regions are to engage, wherein a deflectable section of the at least one conductive element is located between the third contact region and the first and second contact regions, and wherein portions of the at least one conductive element having the first and second contact regions extend separately directly from the deflectable section.
