  • Publication number: 20230056567
    Abstract: A spring clip has a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam. The second beam is resiliently deflectable toward the first beam from a relaxed position distal from the first beam to a compressed position proximal to the first beam. The second beam has a spring latch disposed at an end of the second beam and extending toward the first beam. The spring latch engages the first beam to secure the second beam in the compressed position.

  • Publication number: 20230056542
    Abstract: A connector for a flat flexible cable includes a housing and a terminal disposed in the housing. The housing has a base and a cover. The base has a closed section with a receiving passageway and an open section extending from the closed section. The cover encloses the open section in a closed position of the cover. The cover has a main body with a pressing surface and a latch extending from the main body. The latch engages a catch of the base in the closed position. The terminal is disposed in the receiving passageway and has a tab extending into the open section. The pressing surface abuts the tab and presses the tab toward the base in the closed position.
