Abstract: An electrical connector assembly has a socket body and a plurality of conductors having tips exposed at one side of the socket body. A dielectric plug body is formed with a row of straight and longitudinally extending guides open at a front side of the plug body. The plug body is fittable with the socket body with the guides longitudinally aligned with the socket conductors. A plurality of plug conductors each have a rear portion generally fixed in the plug body, a straight front contact portion longitudinally shiftable in a respective one of the plug-body guides, having a tip exposed at the front side, and longitudinally displaceable in the respective guide between a front position and a rear position, and a connecting portion integrally formed with the front and rear portions, extending at least partially transversely, and elastically deformable to bias the plug-conductor tips into the front positions.

Abstract: A connector has a body having a mounting end formed with a pair of side surfaces and an end face transversely bridging the side surfaces. The body is formed with a row of seats open at the body end face and alignable with the traces. Respective identical flat conductive contacts fixed in the seats each have a connection end projecting from the body end face and having a pair of oppositely directed side edges and an end edge transversely bridging the side edges. One of the edges of each of the contacts is fixed, typically by solder, to a respective one of the traces. The side surfaces are oppositely directed and generally parallel and the contact side edges are substantially coplanar with the respective body side faces.
