ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided for joining two flat flexible cables. The connector comprises a carrier having an elongated base, a pair of guides extending orthogonally from opposed ends of the base and a generally planar support extending from the base and disposed between the guides. The connector further comprises a resilient clip having opposed arms extending from a connecting member and converging toward one another. Slits may be formed in the clip to define a plurality of independent clamping fingers aligned respectively with conductive traces on the flat flexible circuit members. The circuit members are disposed in face to face contact on the support of the carrier, and the clip is slidably advanced over the circuit members and the support. Thus, the arms of the clip hold the flat flexible circuit members in face to face contact with one another and against the support of the carrier.
