  • Patent number: 5462441
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a low profile electrical connector (10) for mounting a flexible film (60) having circuitry thereon, for electrical interconnection to a planar electronic device, such as a PCB (42), upon which the connector is to be mounted. The connector comprises an elongated dielectric housing (16) defined by essentially upper and lower parallel surfaces (18,20), a central through slot (26) for extending between the upper and lower surfaces (18,20) and end portions (22,24) for receiving an electrical interface member (62), such as an elastomeric connector known as AMPLIFLEX. Further means for mounting the housing to the planar electronic device, and means along one of the surfaces (18) for receiving a spring actuator member (14), are provided.
