Connector for flat ribbon cable

摘要

A connector has a plastic base part forming a transversely elongated slot open in a longitudinal insertion direction and formed with a plurality of seats spaced along and opening into the slot. Respective contact elements fixed in the seats each have a deflectable contact arm with a contact point exposed in the slot at the respective seat to one side of the slot and a rigid pivot arm to an opposite side of the slot having an outer end spaced longitudinally outward from the respective contact point. A pivotal clamp part having a pusher bar extending along the slot inward of the arm outer ends is pivoted on the arm outer ends between an open position extending upward away from the base part and with the pusher bar spaced widely from the contact points and a closed position closely juxtaposed down on the base part and pressing a cable down on the points for contact of cable conductors therewith.
