Abstract
A cable assembly includes a printed circuit board having a pattern of conductive traces on a major surface of the board. The cable has a number of conductors electrically connected to the traces, and a number of elongated spring contact elements are connected to the board. Each contact element has a sleeve oriented parallel to the major surface and connected to a first pad portion of a selected trace. Each contact element has an spring pin slidably received in the sleeve and extending beyond a first peripheral edge portion of the board.
