Abstract
An electrical socket for mounting on a flat, flexible conductor carrier (FFC), for connecting an electrical plug (P) to a conductor (C) on the conductor carrier (FFC), comprises a base plate having a central plug receiving opening. A pair of contact springs extend from opposite edges of the base plate and have arcuate contact surfaces which project across the opening on one face of the plate for resiliently engaging the plug (P) between them. On each side of the opening is a pair of lugs depending from the other face of the plate and being adapted to be passed through the conductor carrier (FFC) and curled round towards each other to make electrical contact with the conductor (C). In use, the plug (P) is passed through the opening in a direction normally of the plane of the base plate, and through the conductor carrier (FFC).
