ABSTRACT:
An end of a flexible ribbon cable is clamped to a side of a printed circuit board, and operatively coupled to electrically conductive surface traces thereon in a parallel relationship with the circuit board, using a molded plastic snap connector that carries an elastomeric member which resiliently bears against the cable end and presses it against the circuit board side. The connector member is provided with alignment pins which extend through corresponding holes in the cable end and the circuit board and function to precisely and automatically align the cable and board traces being operatively coupled, and snap tab portion which extend through holes in the cable end and circuit board and resiliently clip onto the board to maintain the elastomeric member in compression against the cable end portion. The alignment pins and the snap tab portions may alternatively be formed on a wall portion of a computer housing in which the printed circuit board is operatively disposed.
