Method and apparatus for electrically connecting two objects

摘要

An apparatus for electrically connecting two objects together includes a first object which has a first connective surface defined thereon, and a plurality of first electrical pads supported on the first connective surface. A second object has a second connective surface defined thereon which supports a plurality of second electrical pads configured to contact the first electrical pads. The first and second objects are configured to be electrically connected to each other by movement of the first object relative to the second object in a given direction and along a continuous path of movement which is substantially parallel to the first connective surface. The apparatus further includes an alignment member which is movably supported on the second object and which is configured to engage the second object when moved so as to substantially align the first electrical pads with the second electrical pads in order to facilitate contact there between.
