Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprising:a first printed circuit board, said first printed circuit board being mounted within a housing; a plurality of conductors having first ends secured to said first printed circuit board and second ends opposite from said first ends, each of said conductors also including an intermediate portion between said first and second ends of said conductor that is formed as a spring; a first member formed from an electrically insulative material, said member having a plurality of bores formed therethrough, each of said bores having a first end and a second end opposite from said first end, each first end of said bore receiving a portion of one of said conductors that includes said second end of said conductor with another portion of said conductor that includes said first end and said intermediate spring portion of said conductor extending from said member; a plurality of wire form buttons with a single one of said wire form buttons disposed within each of said bores and contacting said second end of a corresponding one of said conductors, said wire form button extending from said second end of said bore; a second member formed from an insulative material, said second member having a plurality of bores formed therethrough, said first end of each of said conductors extending through one of said bores in said second member with said second member being spaced apart from said first member with said conductor intermediate portion disposed therebetween; a second printed circuit, said second printed circuit board being mounted upon a hydraulic control valve with said housing being removably attached to said hydraulic control valve, said second printed circuit board having a plurality of terminal contact pads formed upon a surface thereof, said intermediate spring portion of said conductor urging said first member and each of said wire form buttons toward a corresponding one of said terminal contact pads with said wire form buttons contacting said contact pads to form an electrical connection between said first printed circuit board and said second printed circuit board; and a support structure included upon said housing that receives said first block and positions said first bock relative to said second printed circuit board.
