Low profile board-to-board interface contactors

Abstract

Low profile board-to-board interface contactors are described. In one example, a board-to-board interface contactor includes a contactor base body having a peripheral seat and an aperture, an elastic and conductive lid positioned over the peripheral seat of the contactor base body, and a conductive pin extending through the A aperture in the contactor base body. The contactor base body can include one or more mounting legs, and outer surfaces of the peripheral seat and the mounting leg can be plated with one or more metals and be conductive. The elastic and conductive lid can be embodied as a conductive foam material. The interface contactor can provide a first conductive pathway between the elastic and conductive lid, the peripheral seat, and the mounting leg, and a second conductive path-A way through the conductive pin.
