Abstract
An electrical connector for connecting a flexible printed cable (14, 23) to a circuit board 13 comprises a dielectric housing (3, 10, 20) having electrical contact members (2a, 11, 21) secured in opposing sides of the housing, the contact members having contact sections (2a, 11A, 21c) inside of the housing for electrical connection to exposed conductors of the flexible printed cable when a section is positioned in the housing and maintained in connection therewith by a cover member (4, 12, 22) which is pivotally mounted on the housing and latched hereto by latch members (10A, 12A; 20b, 22a). Leg members (2b, 11B, 11C, 11d, 11E, 21a) of the contact members (2a, 11, 21) have terminating sections that are disposed along a bottom of the housing or extend outwardly from the housing in a plane of the bottom surface of the housing for electrical and mechanical connection to respective coductive and metal areas on a surface of the circuit board or the terminating section extend parallel to the sides of the housing and extend through holes in the circuit board for electrical and/or mechanical connection to conductive and metal areas on a bottom surface of the circuit board.
