Abstract: A multi-contact electrical connector and method of making are provided. An embodiment of a multi-contact electrical connector includes multiple small-scale densely packed contacts in the form conductive coils with wire loops whose elastic deformation provides a normal contact force for each contact in the connectors. The connector also includes a body that is configured to position the conductive coils. In some embodiments, the body may be elongate and the wire loop may be wrapped around the elongate body. In other embodiments, the body may have channels that extend through the body in which the conductive coils are disposed.
