  • Connector with prestressed contacts and its use
    Publication number: 20010034162
    Abstract: In order to increase the precision of the definition of a contact by pressure between a connector (1), designed to be surface-mounted, and a smart card, one assures a support plane for the connector, this latter on a flat printed circuit. This support plane is created by means of vertical prestresses on elastic conductive strips (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) of the connector. This vertical prestress consists of pressing one end (11, 12, 13) of the elastic conductive strips onto fixed pieces (14, 15, 16, 17) aligned in a plane. This improvement makes such a connector easy to use and makes it possible to have a statistical inspection of the quality of the connectors thus made.
