ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit connector is presented which is used to electrically and mechanically connect a flexible circuit to a circuit board or other electronic device. The connector also functions to wipe off any residue or debris on the electrical contacts before final connection. The connector is comprised of a male plug and a female adapter. The male plug comprises two interlocking pieces including a block and a cover. These two pieces allow for easy assembly and disassembly of the plug in conjunction with a flexible circuit. The female adapter comprises a hood which may be fastened directly to a circuit board. Alternatively, the hood may be fastened to a base plate which has gold plated contacts and conductive pins which pass through and which are soldered to the circuit board.
