Date Oct. 9, 1997In an electrographic printer or copier using an LED for exposing the photoconductor, an arrangement of two disconnectable flat conductors are provided which form part of the electrical connection between a current supply and an exposure system. A first flat conductor contains a first current carrying metal strip, at least one second current carrying metal strip which has at least sections thereof in parallel to the first metal strip, and at least one insulating strip which insulates the second metal strip from the first metal strip. The first flat conductor provides a connection with the second flat conductor which has the first metal strip protruding beyond the insulating strip. The second flat conductor has essentially the same geometrical structure as the first flat conductor at least at the connection point. The connection of the first metal strip of the first flat conductor comes into electrical contact with the other metal strip of the second flat conductor and the other metal strip of the first flat conductor comes into electrical contact with the first metal strip of the second flat conductor.
