Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electrical connector with an equivalent resistance comprising: providing a housing made from, at least in part, an electrically conductive material; providing a pin made from, at least in part, an electrically conductive material; positioning a canted coil spring comprising a spring coil in a groove, said groove being associated with the housing, the pin, or both; and counting a first set of number of contact point or points between the spring coil and the housing and a second set of number of contact point or points between the spring coil and the pin; using Ohm's Law, the first set of number of contact point or points, and the second set of number of contact point or points to compute the equivalent resistance for the electrical connector.
