<p>An electrical connector system for electrically interconnecting electrically conductive paths of a first circuit with corresponding electrically conductive paths of a second circuit. The system includes backer structure with guide structure that is adapted to receive a first circuit which has a first array of pad-type contacts, and a cooperating connector assembly component that includes contact carrier structure with camming structure and that is adapted to receive a second circuit which has a second array of pad-type contacts corresponding to the pad-type contacts of the first array, and actuator structure that includes camming structure for interaction with camming structure of the contact carrier structure. Elastomeric foam structure interconnects the actuator and said contact carrier structures in a manner enabling the camming structures to engage. First guide structure associated with the actuator structure allows restrained movement of the actuator structure towards the backer structure, and second guide structure cooperating between the contact carrier structure and the backer structure allows translational movement of the contact carrier structure while maintaining the pad-type contacts of the first and second circuits in alignment as the actuator structure causes the camming structures to concurrently compress the elastomeric coupling member and produce lateral movement of the contact carrier structure parallel to the plane of the pad-type contacts in wiping action as guided by the engaged guide structures.</p> |
