Electrical interconnector with helical contacting portion and assembly using same.

摘要

An electrical interconnector (15) for interconnecting two circuit members (19, 21) wherein the interconnector comprises a dielectric member and at least one conductive element (25). The conductive element includes a base portion retained within the dielectric and at least one projecting helical portion (61) for engaging a conductor of one of the circuit members. Preferably, dendritic elements (e.g., palladium) are formed on the terminal ends of the helical portions for providing debris removal. The form of connection between the helical portion and the conductor is of the non-wiping type. An electrical assembly including this interconnector is also described.
