<p>A circuit apparatus connector is described, of the type which includes a body holding rows of contacts (92) and a flexible circuit for connecting the contacts to terminal pads (144, 146) on a circuit board device (140), to allow the circuit board device to be shifted slightly relative to the contacts. An insulator (84) is provided which includes a body (86) with holes for holding the contacts and with an integral elongated arm (100) whose end can bear against a side of the circuit board device. Conductive plating regions are formed on the insulator, each region plating the walls of a contact-receiving hole (90) and forming a trace (120) on one side of the arm that ends in a contact pad (122) that engages a terminal pad on the circuit board device.</p> |
