Orientationless spring probe receptacle assembly

A spring probe receptacle assembly for making electrical contact between two circuit boards, wiring assemblies, or a combination of the two, comprising:

• a socket assembly comprising a printed circuit board having a plurality of stationary electrical contacts configured in a circular orientation, said printed circuit board having a front face and a back face, said socket assembly further comprising a plurality of socket guides partially surrounding said stationary electrical contacts, said socket guides extending generally perpendicularly from said front face, said socket guides defining a plurality of channels, wherein said socket guides are configured to guide said spring contact probes into the correct position, and further configured to protect said stationary electrical contacts from accidental contact with unintended electrically conductive objects;
• and
• a plug assembly comprising a base and a plurality of spring contact probes, wherein said spring contact probes have plunger portions configured for insertion into said socket assembly channels for making an electrical connection with said stationary electrical contacts when said socket assembly and said plug assembly are interfaced;
• wherein said stationary electrical contacts and said spring contact probes are configured in an axisymmetric orientation such that electrical contact may be established and maintained between said plug assembly and said socket assembly regardless of said plug and socket assemblies' respective rotational orientation;
• wherein said socket and plug assemblies configured to removably interface with each other to form an electrical connection.
