ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit (1) provided with at least one connector for connecting an electrical component (25) to corresponding conductors of the flexible circuit. The connector consists of two parallel contact strips (5) from insulating flexible material, which are attached to the flexible circuit. The surfaces of the contact strips (5) facing each other have contact surfaces (6, 7) which are electrically connected to the corresponding conductors (3, 2) of the flexible circuit (1). The connector further consists of a positioning block (15) from insulating material, which is provided with holes into which the connecting pins (21, 22) of the electrical component (25) can be inserted. Grooves (16, 17) in which the contact strips lie are provided in the side faces, adjacent to the holes, of the positioning block and have a depth which is greater than the minimum distance between the wall of a hole and the adjacent side face of the positioning block. A clamping spring (37) which presses the contact strips (5) towards each other is provided.
