<p>A connector assembly for electrically connecting substantially flat flexible circuit to a second circuit element. The connector assembly generally includes a housing having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein having an opening through which the flexible circuit element is received into the cavity and a floor over which the flexible circuit is supported. A plurality of generally resilient terminals are mounted one in each of the cavities. Each terminal includes a first portion contacting the second circuit element and second portion for contacting the flexible circuit. The second portion is normally spaced from the cavity floor so that the flexible circuit is easily insertable inbetween. The second portion is movable to mechanically press against the flexible circuit for ensuring good electrical contact and preventing withdrawal of the flexible circuit. Also included is actuating means associatable with the terminal for moving the second portion to press against the flexible circuit.</p> |
