Abstract
In order that, in the case of an electrical connector for establishing a connection to at least one conductor essentially arranged in a flexible foil, having a dielectric housing with a receptacle for the insertion of the flexible foil and of the at least one conductor, costs are reduced yet the quality of the said connector is improved, at least one contact pin for establishing electrical contact with the at least one conductor is provided, the contact pin exerting a force on the electrical conductor and/or the flexible foil, which force both ensures that the conductor bears mechanically on the contact pin, and ensures the provision of an electrical contact.
