ABSTRACT:
There is described an apparatus comprising a flat ribbon cable including a plurality of electrical conductors connected between two contact locations rotatable one with respect to the other. At each end of the flat ribbon cable, there is provided a connection line including a plurality of connection conductors, and a connection assembly comprised of a receptacle assembly and a plug assembly. The receptacle assembly surrounds an end portion of the flat ribbon cable including uninsulated portions of the electrical conductors, while the plug assembly includes a plurality of spring contacts each attached to an end of one of the connection conductors. Upon insertion of the plug assembly into the receptacle assembly, the spring contacts compressively engage mechcially fixed, uninsulated portions of the electrical conductors, thus providing electrical contacts therebetween.
