Abstract
An electronics module having an environmentally sealed swiping spring pin connector includes an electronics housing having first, second, third, and fourth sides and defines an axis extending from a front to rear of the housing. The first side defines an electrical connector having a first mounting seat that is sloped at an angle relative to the first side. The second side defines an electrical connector having a second mounting seat that is sloped at the angle relative to the second side and is sloped in an opposite direction as the first mounting seat. One electrical connector includes a plurality of spring-loaded pins that are generally orthogonal relative to the respective mounting seat and are biased in an extended position. The other electrical connector defines a plurality of pin receiving receptacles that are generally orthogonal angle to the respective mounting seat. A gasket is positioned on one of the mounting seats.
