Abstract
A method and apparatus for making a connection to or between one or more modules in a microwave communication system includes a first module having a plurality of contact pads mounted on a surface adjacent one edge of the module; optionally a second module having a plurality of contact pads mounted on a surface adjacent a confronting edge of the second module; a contact assembly including a housing and a plurality of resilient contacts disposed within the housing, each contact having at least a first and optionally a second contact surface aligned with and connected to the contact pads on the first and second modules respectively; and a plurality of screws or the like for anchoring the housing to the first and optionally the second module and bridging the gap between them, the housing arranged to deform the plurality of contacts to urge them into resilient engagement with the contact pads on the modules.
