Edge connector for flat circuitry

摘要

An electrical connector system includes a dielectric housing having a pair of wings defining a circuit-receiving slot therebetween. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing. The terminals have contact portions located at opposite sides of the slot. A flat circuit has an edge insertable into the slot. An actuator is mounted on and carried by the flat circuit. The actuator has actuator portions operatively associated with the terminals to bias the contact portions of the terminals into engagement with opposite sides of the flat circuit in response to inserting the edge of the circuit into the slot.
