Abstract
A flexible, hollow electrical connector includes an end barrel portion which receives a second, identical connector, an intermediate portion positionable through a bore in a circuit board and a third contact portion. The contact portion comprises a pair of longitudinal fingers disposed in confronting relationship, each finger having a curved configuration in which the greatest transverse projection is at least as great as the inside diameter of the end barrel portion. Some embodiments may eliminate the intermediate portion and insert the barrel portion in the circuit board.
