Abstract:
A flex connector assembly for connecting circuit boards, comprising:a housing having opposite top and bottom surfaces and at least one cavity extending from said top surface to said bottom surface; a biasing element located within said cavity along an axis, said biasing element configured to exert an axial force substantially parallel to said axis and directed from an interior of said cavity toward said top surface and said bottom surface; at least one pressure support member extending over one of said top and bottom surfaces, said pressure support member exerting an axial force on said biasing element directed from an exterior of said cavity toward one of said top and bottom surfaces; at least one flex circuit having a flex array extending over said pressure support member; and at least one compressible socket having a socket array overlapping said at least one flex circuit, said biasing element urging said flex array and said socket array onto one another.
