  • Patent number: 5041015
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical jumper assembly for connecting electrical circuits. The electrical circuit comprises a flexible cable having one or more conductors which are encapsulated in an insulating material. Each conductor terminates at least at one end in a conductive pad having a hole for mating arrangement with a separate terminal pin. The terminal pin has a contact end which is inserted into the connector hole in the circuitry. The opposite end of the terminal pin extends beyond a stiffener and is preferably hollow which permits swaging the pin to the stiffener. A terminal pin flange located between the ends of the pin rest upon the conductive pad for physical and electrical contact. The flange can be soldered with high temperature solder to the conductive pad for additional stability and reduced resistance.
