19 see fig4 alternatively the effective spring lengths can be longer if the stationary sandwiching of the contacts 13 is located further back towards the peg 29 plate 31 along with other layers described below form base 11 once securely mounted to posts 29 contacts 13 can be severed from carrier strip c as shown in fig3 as seen in fig4 a dielectric layer 33 such as kapton followed by a conductive shield 35 can then be placed on plate 31 to form base 11 other types of materials along with different arrangements of materials however could be used to form base 11 preferably mounting sections 25 of the contacts 13 are rigidly secured to base 11 preferably the top ends of the posts 29 can be used to at least partially connect the dielectric layer 33 and shield 35 to the plate 31 mounting section 25 is preferably stationarily captured between the layers 31 and 33 35 fig6 a c display another alternative embodiment of the present invention as shown in fig6 a electrical connector 110 includes a base 111 and contacts 113 similar to the first embodiment contacts 113 include dual cantilever beams 115 117 extending past opposite sides of base 111 also similar to the first embodiment intermediate section 125 also includes an aperture 127 that engages a peg 129 on base 111 differently however than the first embodiment base 111 does not rigidly support contact 113 intermediate section 125 of contact 113 resides within a chamber 137 formed in base 111 chamber 137 has a height greater than the thickness of contact 113 in addition the diameter of peg 129 is smaller than the diameter of aperture 127 thus contact 113 can move within chamber 137 and about peg 129 fig6.
