Description

The resilient microelectronic connector is used for making electrical and mechanical connection between a mating ball terminal as shown in FIG. 7 with broken line proximal to the top of the connector, and a second terminal, as shown in FIG. 7 with broken line proximal to the bottom of the resilient microelectronic connector. Two resilient microelectronic connectors may be joined at the tubular base of each connector thereby forming a double ended microelectronic connector as shown in FIG. 7.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a resilient microelectronic connector showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational view being identical to the front elevational view;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view thereof, showing a typical usage configuration.

The broken line portions of FIG. 7 are included to show two unclaimed mating ball terminals and an unclaimed microelectronic connector only and form no part of the claimed design.
