Multi-contact connector for substrate-to-board connections

摘要

Multi-contact electrical connector for connecting terminal pads on one panel-like member to terminal pads on another panel-like member comprises a generally U-shaped contact terminal strip. The strip is made up of a strip of thin plastic having spaced-apart spring metal contact terminals adhered to one external surface thereof. The edges of the strip are mounted on an elongated mounting bar of insulating material. The connector is located between the panel-like members with the spring contacts in alignment with corresponding terminal pads. The panel-like members are clamped in a pre-determined relationship so that the terminals are flexed and portions of the terminals on opposite sides of the strip are resiliently urged against the pads.
