Dimple interconnect for flat cables and printed wiring boards.

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (10) comprises first and second electrical connectors (12 and 14) and/or a printed wiring board having electrical conductors thereon ending in termini. Dimples (36 and 38) are provided on the termini and are configured with matable surfaces of concave and convex configurations to provide conforming concave-convex contacts with one another for electrical coupling of the two connectors. The dimples also provide self-alignment between the matable electrical connectors.
