  • Electrical connector for flat flexible circuits
    Patent number: 5944554
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for terminating a flat flexible circuit which has at least one pin-receiving hole therein. The connector includes a dielectric housing. At least one conductive terminal is mounted on the housing and includes a projecting pin portion exposed on the housing. A circuit carrier is provided for receiving the flat flexible circuit. The carrier is mountable on the housing in a position for aligning the pin-receiving hole in the circuit with the pin portion of the terminal.
