Abstract
A clamping system for use in connecting high density flexible circuit to a rigid printed circuit board. The clamping system utilizes metal-on-elastomer (MOE) strips contained in a MOE holder and held in place by clamping components to provide electrical connections between the high density flexible circuit and the rigid printed circuit board. The clamping system utilizes a flexible mouth surrounding the high density flexible circuit to alleviate stress on the high density flexible circuit, a special plating on the conductors of the high density flexible circuit to prevent oxidation, and a stiffener clamp to provide stability for the MOE strips.
