<p>Title of the Invention ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR A low cost flexible connector for connecting multiple electrical conductors of an electrical component such as, for example, a gas discharge panel or flat flexible printed circuit harnesses, to associated conductors in a printed circuit board is disclosed in which the connector comprises a one-piece elongated plastic clamping member having lever portions joined at a fulcrum portion. Compression of the lever portions around the fulcrum portion opens a pair of jaw portions a distance sufficient to receive a printed circuit board and its associated conductors, together with the conductors of the electrical component. The lever portions are interconnected by an integral pressure portion which normally urges the lever portions in an outward direction to provide a constant clamping pressure between the electrical conductors of the circuit board and those of the electrical component. Several different embodiments of the pressure portion are disclosed.</p> |
