ABSTRACT:
A circuit connector for electrically connecting a substantially flat flexible conductor to a second conductor. The connector generally includes a housing, a cover, and contacts. The housing is of insulating material and has a relatively flat conductor receiving surface and a plurality of openings that communicate with the conductor receiving surface. A generally resilient self-locking domed wiping contact is disposed in the housing beneath each opening, and slidably engages retaining grooves of the housing. At least one portion of each contact protrudes above the conductor receiving surface to make electrical contact with the flat conductor, and a second portion is adapted for connection to a second conductor. The cover is superposed the flat conductor receiving surface for receiving the flat conductor therebetween. The cover is movable to press and releasably retain the flexible circuit in electrical connection with said resilient contacts.
