Abstract
A connector for making electrical contact between an external circuit and a planar substrate of the type having opposing faces with the sides having conductive portions thereon includes an insulating housing having an interior area for receiving the substrate. Means are provided for resiliently supporting the substrate on one face thereof. A plurality of contacts are fixedly mounted within the interior area with each contact including a projecting portion adapted to be resiliently biased over the other face of the substrate. The contacts hold the substrate against the resilient supporting means and each contact further includes a portion for contacting conductive portions on the marginal edge portions of the substrate.
