Cable connection between two printed circuit board assemblies
An electrical signal between the two boards will be transmitted through six contacts: solder joint (printed circuit board to contact pin) - connector (contact pin to contact spring) - insulation displacement connection (contact spring to cable) - insulation displacement connection - connector - solder joint

Current is constricted through the contact spots
The detour required from the current (the electrons) results in an additional voltage drop thus resistance - constriction resistance

Example
0,5 N contact normal force
hard gold, 160 HV (kp/mm2)
d = 0,02 mm
Rconstr. = 1,3 m
Measured, new contact: 11,3 m (bulk 10,0 m)
after use: 23,0 m (bulk 10,0 m)
