VIBRATION RESISTANT WIRELESS INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A connection module having multiple spring coils that connect the electrical contacts of a steering stalk to the electrical contacts of a circuit board in a steering column. The spring coils are made from a conductive wire that is formed into a helix-shaped coil having several rings therein, the rings defining slots therebetween. The spring coils are placed end to end in the connection module so that access is provided to the slots in the sides of the spring coils. The contacts of the steering stalk and the circuit board are then inserted into the slots of the spring coil to electrically connect the two.
