Abstract
A multipole edge connector for the electrical connection of strip contact rfaces of a flexible flat ribbon cable with the congruent edge contact surfaces of a printed circuit board having the same modular dimensions. The edge connector consists of a clamp-like holder which is fastened with holding means in the form of barbs on the edge of the printed circuit board, and which has a plurality of flexible tongues. To permit the preparation of the holder at low cost, it comprises two members which are cut off from two different metal strips with pre-punched and pre-embossed profiles, which members are joined together by welding in a perforated zone. The members are profiled to provide a cross section with a half-tulip-shaped, asymmetric clamping contour, whereby each of the flexible tongues provides a uniform contact pressure.
