VERBINDER FUER FLEXIBLE FLACHSCHALTUNGSELEMENTE.

摘要

The connector comprises a carrier (12) having an elongated base (16), a pair of guides (38,40) extending orthogonally from opposed ends of the base and a generally planar support (75) extending from the base and disposed between the guides (38,40). The connector further comprises a resilient clip (14) having opposed arms (84,86) extending from a connecting member (88) and converging toward one another. Slits (94) formed in the clip define a plurality of independent clamping fingers (98) aligned respectively with conductive traces (146) (see FIG. 4) on the flat flexible circuit members (140,142). The circuit members are disposed in face to face contact on the support (75) of the carrier, and the clip (14) is slidably advanced over the circuit members (140,142) and the support (75). Thus, the arms (84,86) of the clip (41) hold the flat flexible circuit members (140, 142) in face to face contact with one another and against the support (75) of the carrier (12).
