Abstract
A small, high-contact density connector, and a method for manufacturing such a connector for reliably and quickly connecting many small conductors such as coaxial conductor pairs of a flexible cable to respective terminals in a planar array. Sets of conductive strips jacketed by molded plastic insulating material have cable conductor terminals at one end and contact surfaces exposed at the opposite end, as connector modules. Several modules are held together, defining a connector mating face with a closely-spaced array of contact surfaces, and anisotropically conductive connector sheet material is used between the connector mating face and an array of conductor terminals to which the conductors are being connected.
