Abstract
A connector is provided for electrically interconnecting the conductors of a flat flexible circuit to the conductors of a complementary mating connecting device. The connector includes a body member on which the flexible circuit is positioned. A latch arm projects from the body member for latching the connector to the complementary mating connecting device. A resilient web joins the latch arm to the body member for performing the functions of providing an anti-overstress structure and a spring device for the latch arm, as well as an anti-snagging feature for the connector.
