Abstract
A high frequency electrical connector system for electrically interconnecting corresponding first and second circuit elements includes a first planar array of pad-type contact terminals disposed on a substrate and connected to a first circuit on the substrate, together with first guide structure adjacent the first array of contact terminals. A cooperating second array of pad-type contact terminals is mounted on a rigid nonconductive contact support structure that includes a resilient contact terminal array mounting, camming structure and second guide structure for cooperation with the first guide structure. The contact support structure is resiliently coupled to a carrier structure that includes cooperating camming structure. Flexible multi-conductor interconnection structure has one end electrically connected to a cooperating electrical circuit secured to the carrier structure and its other end connected to corresponding terminals of the second array. Fastener structure is adapted to secure the carrier structure and the substrate together with guide structures in engagement. As the fastener structure moves the carrier structure towards the substrate, the camming structures interac…
