Abstract
A connector system employs a first connector moiety on an insertable miniaturized form factor card. A mobile information device (MID) has a printed circuit board having a second connector moiety and a frame mounted on the MID PCB for receiving the card. A slot is present in the frame for engagement of an elastomeric connector element in alignment with the second connector moiety. The card is positioned by the frame for alignment of the first connector moiety with the elastomeric connector element. The contact surface of the first connector moiety, as an example, multiple contact pads on the card, is extended, accomplished in the example by a matching plurality of individual metallic conductor extensions affixed to the plurality of contact pads using surface mount technology, and a cover attached to the frame is provided for urging the card into the frame and urging the extended contact surface to compress the elastomeric connector for positive contact.
