Electrical connecting device

摘要

An electrical connecting device comprises plural resilient metal contact elements 3 and a flexible dielectric carrier sheet 5 to which part of each contact element 3 is attached, each contact element having contacts 7,9 resiliently compressible towards one another. Preferably each contact is a strip which has a contact 8 at each end and an intermediate contact 7 defined by a bend in the strip. In use the device may be sandwiched between electrical components 17, 19 so as to interconnect the components. For example, contact 7 of a connecting element 3 may connect to a contact 21 of component 17 and contacts 9 may connect to respective contacts 23 of component 19.
