An electrical contact (1) for connecting a portion of a flexible flat electrical cable, via a contact section (10), to an electrical conductor via a wire connecting section (12). The contact section (10) comprises first (2) and second (4) parallel plates integrally joined by a connecting member (6). Securing members (18) on one edge of the second plate (4) are aligned with transverse projections (14a, 14b) on a cable engaging side of the first plate (2) and further securing members (20) on the opposite edge of the second plate (4) are aligned with transverse projections (16a, 16b) on a cable engaging side of the second plate (4). The projections (14a, 14b, 16a, 16b) become interdigitated as ends of the securing members (18, 20) are bent onto an outer surface of the first plate (2) causing the flat cable portion to be clamped in a sinuous configuration between the two plates (2, 4). The flat cable portion is retained with a high contact pressure and holding force without being damaged. <IMAGE> |
