1. An electrical connector for an electronic component having concentric positive and negative terminal contact surfaces, said electrical connector comprising:

  • at least a first contact element and a second contact element, each of said first and second contact elements including alternating conductive materials and nonconductive materials; and

    an insulating layer separating said first contact element and said second contact element by a predetermined distance;

    wherein said first contact element establishes an electrical connection only with the positive terminal contact surface of the electronic component and the second contact element establishes an electrical connection only with the negative terminal contact surface, thereby preventing shorting contact between the positive and negative terminal contact surfaces of the electronic component when the connector is mounted to the electronic component.
