  • Patent number: 4802866
    Abstract: A two-piece solderless connector is disclosed herein having a first member formed with a cavity supporting a leaf spring over which a strip of plastic backed electrical conductors are carried so that the strip is folded over upon itself to define a contact closure between opposing surfaces of electrical conductors. Opposite ends of the conductors within the cavity terminate at an elongated opening constituting an entrance leading into the cavity for insertably receiving similar electrical conductors projecting from a second member of the connector. Resilient biasing members urge the conductors together. The connector conductors of both the first and second members provide an integral part of a flex circuit and the electrical conductors of each member are integral with separate and individual circuit conductors included in the over-all flex circuit.
