Abstract
A connector assembly for a flat flexible cable (FFC) comprises a header and a plug receivable within the header. The header includes conductive contacts arranged therein. The plug includes conductive terminals and defines first openings and second openings. The first openings are defined on a first side of the plug and expose a weld pad of each of the terminals for electrically connecting each terminal to an exposed conductor of an FFC. The second openings are defined on a second side of the plug and expose a contact area of each of the terminals for electrically engaging with a respective one of the contacts of the header. The plug is insertable into the header between an initial position wherein the contacts are not in contact with the terminals, and a final position wherein the contacts are engaged with the terminals.
