Abstract
The invention is directed to an electrical connector (10) having a housing (12) with a plurality of contacts (14,114) secured therein. The housing (12) has a top and a bottom surface. The contacts (14,114) extend through the housing (12) and outwardly from the top and bottom surfaces to provide a mating interface between two electrical devices (50). The housing (12) has a flexible member (18) disposed along the top and the bottom surfaces and the contacts (14,114) are secured within the housing (12) by engagement with the flexible membrane (18).
