| 摘要 |
The invention is an electrical connector (10) that provides a connection system that releasably connects the circuit paths of a flexible conductive circuit to a printed circuit board having a corresponding row of contacts (14), without the need for soldering, crimping or welding operations, or extensive preparation of the flexible circuit before connection. One embodiment has at least one spring contact formed in a cover (12); at least one rotatable cam (16); and a base (18) with a circuit alignment window for initial alignment of a flexible conductive circuit introduced into the connector. The cover and base snap together to house the rotatable cam(s). T he connection, when using at least one cam, is made by feeding the circuit into a slot in the cam, then rotating the cam to bring the circuit into contact wit h the spring contact which has a tapered insulation plane.
