  • Electrical interconnect device
    Patent number: 8808009
    Abstract: An interconnect device for electrically connecting first and second electrical components together along a connection axis includes a contact assembly having an insulative carrier and electrical contacts held by the insulative carrier. The electrical contacts include mounting segments and mating segments. The mating segments are configured to be compressed along the connection axis. A frame includes a central opening and at least one perimeter segment that defines a boundary of the central opening. The contact assembly is held within the central opening. The frame includes a compression stop having a stop surface that is configured to engage the second electrical component to limit an amount of compression of the mating segments along the connection axis. The stop surface is aligned with a mating side surface of the perimeter segment.
