Patent ID: 7128592

Claim:
A connector system comprising: a first header including at least one conductive pad that is electrically engaged with a conductor; a second header including at least one conductive pad that is electrically engaged with a conductor and is positioned in confronting relation with said at least one conductive pad of said first header, wherein each of said first and second headers includes a first face comprising at least one opening leading into at least one blind hole and a second face on which is located said at least one conductive pad, and further wherein each of said at least one blind holes is defined by a surface within each of said headers including a layer of conductive metal and said at least one conductive pad is in electrical communication with said layer of conductive metal; and an interposer located between said first header and said second header, with at least one contact that extends continuously through said interposer so as to have a portion projecting outwardly toward said at least one conductive pad of said first header and another portion projecting outwardly toward said at least one conductive pad of said second header, wherein said interposer is movable between (i) a first position wherein said portions of said at least one contact are spaced away from said conductive pads, and (ii) a second position wherein said portions of said at least one contact electrically engage said conductive pads.
