ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed for making electrical connections to a large area visual display in the form of a substrate having a plurality of spaced-apart contact pads arranged in parallel rows along the edges on one surface. The connector includes a base in the form of a rectangular frame for supporting the edges of the substrate, and having spaced-apart parallel rows of cavities formed in each side of the base. A plurality of contact assemblies each containing a row of electrical contacts are provided which are designed to fit within a respective one of the cavities. A cover is also provided which fits over one side of the substrate and fastens to the base in a manner which applies pressure to the substrate edges to maintain connection between the contact pads and the contacts. The connector includes alignment elements for positioning the substrate so that the contact pads are aligned with the contacts.
