ABSTRACT:
A unitary housing of moldable dielectric material having a body portion, a cover portion, and an interconnecting hinge portion is clamped onto a terminal portion of the flexible printed circuit having a plurality of uninsulated, cantilevered conductor strip end portions. The body portion of the housing has open ended cavities. Terminals are disposed in the cavities in biased engagement with portions of the conductor strip end portions wiped into the cavities by the terminals. The cover portion is movable between an open position providing access to the cavities for assembly of the terminals and a closed position for clamped engagement with the terminal portion of the flexible printed circuit. The terminal cavities may be in an irregular pattern and may include a part cylindrical surface to facilitate the conductor strip end portions being wiped into the cavities by the terminals. The cover portion may be releasably or permanently retained in the closed position and may include rounded projections aligned with the cavities and in biased engagement with the terminals disposed therein.
