Patent ID: 7355122

Claim:
An electrical connection, comprising: a. first and second electrical connectors ( 10 a, 10 b ) adapted to engage each other to form an electrical connection; b. an electrical wire ( 16 a, 16 b ) connected to each connector ( 10 a, 10 b ); c. said first and second connectors ( 10 a, 10 b ) each comprising a contact ( 12 a, 12 b ) formed of a conductive elastomeric material with conductive particles dispersed in the material, said conductive elastomeric material being shaped to deform when compressed; d. wherein when the first and second connectors ( 10 a, 10 b ) engage each other said contacts ( 12 a, 12 b ) will deform to cause electrically conductive particles in said elastomeric material to form an enhanced electrically conductive path through the elastomeric material; and e. wherein said deformation of the contacts ( 12 a, 12 b ) effectively removes moisture from between the contacts ( 12 a, 12 b ).
