Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for flexible conductive line components suitable for a lower mounted profile in a device mounted on a printed circuit board. The connector comprises a metal plate, resilient spring portions, and connection terminal portions wherein the resilient portions, which allow the metal plate and individual contacts to accommodate and clamp a inserted flexible printed circuit parallel with respect to the printed circuit board, are disposed such that the lengthwise spring extension thereof lies in the parallel direction, leaving the height unaffected. The metal plate further comprises a substantially U-shaped transverse cross section which affords both a low mounting profile and a stable connection that experiences minimal bending.
