ABSTRACT:
A compression connector for connecting the conductor pads of a flat flexible cable to the conductor pads of a printed circuit board. The connector includes a carrier plate which carries a hardboard, the flexible circuit and an interposer through the use of extending peg portions extending from one side of the plate. The peg portions extend beyond the interposer for receipt within positioning openings of the printed circuit board to position the flexible circuit and interposer for electrical connection to the conductor pads of the printed circuit board. A cage structure is secured to the printed circuit board having a top wall covering the positioning openings as well as the conductor pads of the printed circuit board. An actuator having a tension spring mounted thereon is slidably carried on the opposite side of the carrier plate. The actuator is movable between a first position corresponding to a disengaged position and a second position corresponding to an engaged position. The extending peg portions may be placed in the positioning openings with the actuator in its first position and the actuator can then be moved to its second position, causing the top wall of the cage structure to engage with and compress the spring and thereby provide compression force against the flexible circuit, interposer and conductor pads of the printed circuit board to effect appropriate mechanical and electrical connections.
