Abstract:
An interconnection device for temporary connection of a first electronic system to a second electronic system comprising:a plurality of dual coil signal contacts, wherein each one of said dual coil signal contacts comprises a tail connecting a top coil having a contact turn and a bottom coil having a contact turn, each of said dual coil contacts being arranged such that said top coil and said bottom coil project outwardly and away from one another; and a support substrate having a top carrier including a first plurality of through-holes, a bottom carrier including a second plurality of through-holes, and a lock-plate including a third plurality of through-holes, wherein said top carrier and said bottom carrier are joined to one another such that said first plurality of through-holes and said second plurality of through-holes are substantially coaxially aligned, and said lock-plate is slideably sandwiched between said top carrier and said bottom carrier so that said lock-plate slides between (i) a first position wherein said first plurality of through-holes, said second plurality of through-holes, and said third plurality of through-holes are coaxially aligned whereby one of said dual coil signal contacts may be slid through said through-holes so as to be mounted to said substrate; and (ii) a second position wherein only said first plurality of through-holes and said second plurality of through-holes are coaxially aligned and said tail of said dual coil contact is locked within said third through-hole.
