A connector (10) connects printed circuits (22) on a printed circuit board (24) to a flat flex cable (32). Each circuit (22) is provided with at least two spaced apart solder-bearing contact pads (20) having a reflowable amount of solder thereon. A connector housing (14) having a board engaging surface (80) (see Fig. 2) includes a plurality of stamped metal terminals (18) each having a pair of depending solder contact projections (72, 74) one of which depends from the board engaging surface (80). The connector (10) is positioned on the circuit board (24) with pressure sensitive adhesive strips (82) so that the contact projections (72, 74) engage the contact pads (20). Upon reflow of the solder material a balanced shock resistant mechanical attachment and electrical connection of the connector (10) to the circuit board (24) is provided. No additional mounting structures are required so the arrangement occupies less board surface area. The arrangement is well suited for robotic assembly operations. |
