Abstract
A contact connector is provided that has at least one loading fiber and a plurality of conductors. Each conductor may have at least one contact point. Each conductor may contact a single loading fiber, and each loading fiber may be capable of delivering a contact force at each contact point. In one example, the connector may be a power connector having a power circuit and a return circuit. In another example, the connector may be a data connector having at least one signal path.
Claims11
A contact connector, comprising:
- a conductive base;
- a conductive post, an end of said conductive post coupled to said conductive base;
- a loading fiber;
- and
- a conductor having at least one contact point, said conductor contacting said conductive post and said loading fiber, wherein said loading fiber is capable of delivering a contact force at each contact point of said conductor.
2 more elements
A contact connector, comprising:
- a base having a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion, said second conductive portion being electrically isolated from said first conductive portion;
- a first conductive post, an end of said first conductive post coupled to said first conductive portion of said base;
- a first loading fiber;
- and
- a first conductor having at least one contact point, said first conductor contacting said first conductive post and said first loading fiber, wherein said first loading fiber is capable of delivering a contact force at each contact point of said first conductor;
- a second conductive post, an end of said second conductive post coupled to said second conductive portion of said base;
- a second loading fiber;
- and
- a second conductor having at least one contact point, said second conductor contacting said second conductive post and said second loading fiber, wherein said second loading fiber is capable of delivering a contact force at each contact point of said second conductor.
