Patent ID: 8840430

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: a connector body including a planar layer of insulator material having a first face opposed from a second face, and a peripheral wall extending around a periphery of said connector body from said first face to said second face; at least one conductive post traversing said planar layer from said first face to said second face, and including (1) an electrical contact element at a first end of said conductive post disposed at said first face and (2) a fulcrum element providing a point of rest on which an attached spring member turns when used to make an electrical connection with a corresponding contact on an electronic device said fulcrum element located at an opposing end of said conductive post disposed at said second face; at least one elongated cavity structure comprising a recess integral with said second face; at least one conductive spring member pivotable on said fulcrum element, and comprising an elongated cantilevered beam element secured at an end thereof to said conductive post by a spring anchor within said elongated cavity structure; and an outer seal coextensive with said peripheral wall.
