Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a pair of elongated bodies, each having a facing ramp, the ramp having an notch, each having a rotatable torsion bar conductor with a tip located in the notch, the end of a tip spaced above the ramp such that when the two bodies are mated, the tips engage the ramp of the other connector and rotate against a torsional restoring force, and when fully mated, the two ramps abut each other, notches aligned, with the respective tips of the torsion bars engaging the torsion bar of the other body in the aligned notches.

Abstract: An electrical connector. An electrical connector a pair of cylindrical housings, one having a plurality of torsion bar conductors and a second having a plurality of ramps. Rotating the pair of housings relative to one another causes an angled tip on the torsion bar to rotate as it moves up the ramp. A land is provided to discontinue further rotation of the torsion bar tip as the housings continue to rotate.

Abstract: An electrical connector. An electrical connector comprising a connector body having a first channel and a first conductive element extending through the first channel in a first tip section. The first tip section having a first moment arm that, when forced in contact with a first conductive surface, twists the first conductive element to produce a torsion force. The torsion force holds the first tip section in contact with the first conductive surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are tapered dielectric and conductor structures which provide controlled impedance interconnection while signal conductor lines transition from finer pitches to coarser pitches thereby obviating electrical discontinuities generally associated with changes of circuit contact pitch. Also disclosed are methods for the construction of the devices and applications therefore.
