Abstract
An electrical connector arrangement for connecting electronic devices to one another. The connector arrangement uses tensile members and compression members, at least the tensile members of which act to provide both an electrical connection between electronic devices and force over a range of distances to hold the devices together. The tensile members provides tensile force acting to hold the electronic devices together while the compression members provide an opposing compressive force over a range of distances which balances the tensile force to thereby form a cellforce connector used to connect an array of electrical contact points on one electronic device to a corresponding array of electrical contact points on another electronic device.
