Abstract: An FFC-connection assembly includes an electrical component for a motor vehicle having an electrical tracing, at least one access window, a molded flange, and at least one hook. An FFC lies over the electrical tracing, mates the electrical tracing through the access window, and has a skived end at point of contact through the access window. The hook holds the FFC in place. The molded flange folds over onto the electrical component, is held down by a snap, and includes at least one depression rib so as to apply pressure against the FFC and the electrical tracing.

Abstract: An electrical conductor assembly for use with a vehicle having a moveable part includes a guide member that is mountable on the moveable part, and a carrier that is moveable along the guide member between first and second carrier positions as the moveable part moves between first and second part positions. The assembly further includes an extendable conductor associated with the carrier and being moveable between a retracted position and an extended position as the carrier moves between the first and second carrier positions.

Abstract: One embodiment of this connectorless FFC connection comprises an electrical component for a motor vehicle and an FFC. Another embodiment comprises an electrical component for a motor vehicle, an FFC, and a remote connection location. This invention provides an electrical connection that is more simplified and less expensive. Additionally, there is no need for a separate wire harness, which reduces the time needed for installation and optimizes use of the FFC with a trim and skived end.
