ABSTRACT:
A connector for effecting releasable contact between individual electrical conductors of a printed circuit board and corresponding overlapping exposed conductors of a flat multiconductor cable comprises an elongate U-shaped resilient member having a pair of longitudinally extending legs. A plurality of cantilevered spring members are spaced longitudinally along one of said legs, projecting transversely therefrom in a direction toward the other leg. Means are provided for releasably affixing the connector to the board such that the spring members are positioned in registry with the overlapping conductors. The spring members are dimensioned with respect to the affixing means such that when the connector is assembled to the board the spring members engage and resiliently press the overlapping exposed cable conductors against the corresponding circuit board conductors thereby establishing electrical connection therebetween. A cantilevered member extending lengthwise on the other leg substantially opposite the spring members is dimensioned with respect to the affixing means so as to press the connected cable against the circuit board thereby providing strain relief therefor.
