Abstract
A connector system for coupling electrical cables with electrical apparatus such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. The present invention discloses a connector system for coupling electrical cables, preferably high density flexible circuits, with electrical apparatus. The connection system discloses a stiffener plate having a slot therein cut at a 45 degree angle from one corner of the stiffener plate to a second distal point of the stiffener plate. A pair of flexible circuits may be disposed in the stiffener plate and bent at 90 degree angles to the plate for coupling to a surface of the stiffener plate. The flexible circuits are of a design allowing for placement of electrical conductive pads along four edges of the stiffener plate, thus maximizing the density of electrical connections in the connection system.
