Patent ID: 7641516

Claim:
A low impedance, low-profile connector, comprising: a dielectric body comprising two opposing faces; a plurality of pins formed of a conductive material captured within said dielectric body, each of said plurality of pins extending through said dielectric body and each defining a pair of nubs, each said nub extending from a respective one of said two opposing faces, each said nub movable along an axis aligned with an elongated length of said pins and resiliently biased in a direction away from said two opposing faces; a plate formed of a planar conductive material secured to said dielectric body adjacent to a first face of said two opposing faces, said plate comprising one or more apertures through which said pins extend in a first direction, said apertures sized and shaped for establishing an electrical connection between said plate and selected ones of said pins; and a plurality of resilient spring fingers comprising projections formed on a periphery of said plate, each of said resilient spring fingers extending away from said dielectric body in a direction between a plane defined by said first face and said first direction of said pins.
