ABSTRACT:
A hardboard (12) and a flat flexible cable (14) each carry a number of electrically conductive leads or traces (16, 18) having main portions which extend parallel to the longitudinal axes (12a, 14a) thereof. Conjugate connector portions (16a, 18a) of the traces (16, 18) extend from the ends of the main portions thereof at an acute angle (.theta.), such that the connector portions (18a) of the cable (14) are aligned over the connector portions (16a) of the hardboard (12) for soldering when the cable (14) is mated to the hardboard (12). The cable (14) is stiff and difficult to move laterally, but may be shifted longitudinally with small effort. Longitudinal relative movement of the cable (14) and hardboard (12) causes parallel shifting of the angled connector portions (18a) of the cable (14) relative to the connector portions (16a) of the hardboard (12), thereby enabling precise lateral adjustment of the connector portions (16a, 18a) without lateral relative movement between the cable (14) and the hardboard (12).
