Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes providing an electro-optic reflective element and a back plate. First and second spring-loaded electrical connectors are disposed in respective passageways of the back plate. A circuit element is provided that has an electrically conductive trace electrically connected to control circuitry. The back plate is attached at the reflective element, and the circuit element is attached at the back plate. With the back plate attached at the reflective element and with the circuit element attached at the back plate, the spring-loaded electrical connectors are biased into electrical contact with a respective electrically conductive element at the reflective element and a respective electrically conductive trace at the circuit element to electrically connect the electrically conductive trace to the electrically conductive element.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first spring-loaded electrical connector comprises a first electrically conductive body portion and a second electrically conductive body portion movable relative to the first electrically conductive body portion and in electrical conductivity therewith, and wherein the first electrically conductive body portion comprises a reflective element-contacting end that, when the first spring-loaded electrical connector is disposed in the first passageway, contacts the first electrically conductive element at the fourth surface of the rear substrate, and wherein the second electrically conductive body portion comprises a circuitry-contacting end that, when the first spring-loaded electrical connector is disposed in the first passageway, contacts the first electrically conductive trace at the circuit element.
