Abstract: An electrical connector 100 for drop-in connection of an electronic module 50 (such as an audio speaker assembly) having at least two lead wires 52, to a flex circuit 70 having a like number of circuit traces 72 arranged on a mounting surface 60, comprising: (1) an electrically insulative body 10 having generally opposed first and second major surfaces 12/14; and (2) at least two electrically conductive, generally elongate biasing members 20 disposed within the body, each biasing member having first and second ends 22/24 and a contact region 26 proximate the second end, wherein each first end 22 is exposed through the first major surface 12 and is adapted for attachment to one of the lead wires 52, and wherein each contact region 26 extends outward from the second major surface 14 such that each contact region may be resiliently deflected inward toward the second major surface.

Abstract: An eyelet terminal is secured to the surface of a grounding member by a resilient plastic retainer passing through the eyelet and through a hole in the member. The eyelet has an annular sleeve which fits inside the hole in the member and a plurality of fingers extending radially outward from the sleeve to contact the surface of the member. After the eyelet is so positioned, the retainer is pushed through the sleeve to urge the fingers into planar contact with the surface. The retainer has a resiliently deformable flange at its lower end which is compressed inwardly as it passes through the sleeve and expands outwardly again on the opposite side of the sleeve and member, and a cap at its upper end which fits over the fingers of the eyelet to protect against contamination.
