Abstract: A solderless connector is presented wherein a pre-stressed elastomeric element is loaded inside a connector housing chamber or cavity so as to effect electrical contact between circuit devices. In essence, the instant invention employs the restoring forces of a stressed elastomeric material to exert forces in a compressive mode. Thus, in attempting to return to its restored (memory) position, a stretched elastomeric element exerts a pressure inside the connector housing channel which forces the terminal portions of the circuit devices into electrical contact.
