ELECTRICAL HARNESS CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical harness assembly is provided that comprises a flexible printed circuit electrically connected to one end of an electrical connector. The other end of the electrical connector is presented for connection to another electrical component. Electrical tracks or conductors in the flexible printed circuit terminate in receiving holes. The electrical connector comprises terminals, each of which has a first end that is received in one of the receiving holes to form a connection formation, and a second end which is present for connection to the other electrical device. The connection formation is encapsulated so as to be sealed, thereby providing a reliable and robust connection between the connector and the flexible printed circuit.

主权项

1. An electrical harness assembly comprising:
an electrical harness comprising a flexible printed circuit having a plurality of conductive tracks, and a terminating region at which each conductive track terminates at a receiving hole, each receiving hole being electrically connected to its respective electrical track; an electrical connector comprising elongate terminals each having a first end received in one of the receiving holes, thereby forming a connection formation at which the elongate terminals are electrically connected with the conductive tracks, and a second end presented for connection to a complimentary connector; and an encapsulating body that continuously surrounds the connection formation and is in direct contact with the connection formation so as to seal the connection formation therein.
