Steckverbinder für flexible Flachband-Schaltkreise

摘要

A connector (10) is provided for electrically interconnecting the conductors (12) of a flat flexible circuit (14) to the conductors (16) of a complementary mating connecting device (18). The connector includes a carrier (20) on which the flexible circuit (14) is positioned with the conductors of the circuit facing away from the carrier. A housing (22) has an opening (38) for receiving the carrier. The carrier (20) is slidably mounted into the opening (38) in the housing (22) to a preliminary loading position for receiving the mating connecting device (18) between the carrier and the housing. The carrier (20) is pivotable from the preliminary loading position to a final connecting position whereat the conductors (12) of the flat circuit (14) are biased against the conductors (16) on the mating connecting device (18).
