ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR CONNEECTING A FLAT MULTIPLE CONDUCTOR CABLE TO A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

An electrical connector for connecting a flat multiple conductor cable to a printed circuit board comprises a one-piece molded plastic member having a slot for receiving one end of the cable which is positioned adjacent the underside of the connector, the slot providing strain relief for the cable. The connector includes a pair of front mounted tab members insertable in apertures located in the printed circuit board and having feet portion engaging the underside of the printed circuit board. The connector further includes a plurality of rear mounted latching finger members which snap over the edge of the printed circuit board latching the connector to the printed circuit board. An abutment member located on the underside of the connector presses the exposed conductor in the cable against the exposed conductor on the surface of the printed circuit board upon the latching of the connector to the printed circuit board.
