ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) for flexible film circuitry (70) includes an insulative housing (14) having a film-receiving cavity (40) extending into a circuitry-receiving face (16) thereof, and further including flanges (30) at opposed ends of the cavity (40); and a locking bar (50) extending between the flanges (30) and affixed to the housing (14) to one side (41) of cavity (40) in a manner permitting movement toward and away from an opposed side (42) of the cavity (40). The locking bar (50) includes at least one projection (54) to be received through a corresponding hole (78) of the flexible film circuitry (70) upon full insertion of the circuitry into the cavity and actuation of the locking bar (50) to a locking position. The locking bar (50) includes ears (56) adjacent the flanges (30) that cooperate with the flanges (30) to define unactuated and actuated positions of the locking bar (50).
