Abstract

See full text

A separable electrical connector assembly includes at least one connector body having a planar array of conductive protrusions. The conductive protrusions can be metallurgically bonded or pressure engaged with conductive contact pads on a surface of a printed circuit substrate, such as a printed circuit board or a flex circuit. In addition, a variety of decoupling means can be incorporated to substantially decouple the metallurgical bonds or pressure engagements from stresses produced by use of the separable electrical connector assembly and differential thermal expansion between the connector body and the printed circuit substrate.
