Abstract
A connector for flexible printed circuitry including an elongated rectangular resilient receptacle having a plurality of rigid contact pins disclosed within the resilient block, and extending generally laterally outwardly thereof. The resilient block has an opening formed therein, with the opening extending across a pair of opposed spaced apart jaw members, with the opening including a diagonally extending throat zone which is in communication with a central cavity, the central cavity being disposed between the jaw members, and with the throat zone being disposed between inner and outer lip surfaces. The inner lip surface joins the central cavity along a generally convex surface, with the surface of each of said rigid pin members being substantially tangential through a convex surface, the arrangement being such that the rigid pin members maintain the convex juncture surface in flexed disposition away from said cavity to normally bias said convex surface against the surfaces of said rigid pin members.
