Zusammenfassung:A solderless compression connector is disclosed operable to couple first and second electrical components. The solderless compression connector comprises a housing comprising a dielectric forming a plurality of chambers, and an elongated conducting element disposed in each chamber. Each elongated conducting element comprises a first end operable to engage a first electrical lead of the first electrical component, and a second end operable to engage a second electrical lead of the second electrical component. Each elongated conducting element comprises a substantially constant thickness, and each elongated conducting element comprises a substantially constant width along a length of the elongated conducting element. A spacing between at least two of the elongated conducting elements is substantially constant. After installing the solderless compression connector, the elongated conducting elements are housed substantially within the respective chambers.
