Abstract

Described embodiments provide a crimp connector with hooks to hold a flat flexible cable (FFC). The crimp connector includes a bottom body and multiple hooks protruding outward from and coupled to the bottom body to hold the FFC. The crimp connector also includes a top clasp hingably mounted to the bottom body having multiple barbs internally mounted therein. Each of the barbs correspond with an uninsulated flat conductor of the FFC. In response to the top clasp engaging with the bottom body such that a slotted wedge of the top clasp presses the corresponding one of the first and second uninsulated flat conductors against the corresponding barbs, the crimp connector makes an electrical connection between each of the barbs and the corresponding one of first and second uninsulated flat conductors.
