ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly (11) for providing electricity to an electroluminescent display (12) that is mounted on an outer face of a carrier plate (10), includes a first connector (13) that has an insulative body (21) with a rearwardly-opening slit (24) that receives an edge of the carrier plate, the body having inner and outer body arms (25, 26) on opposite sides of the slot. The first connector also has a plurality of U-shaped contact elements (28) with parallel inner and outer ends (32, 31) that lie in the different body arms. The outer end of each contact element engages a conductive pad (16) on the carrier plate but the rest of the outer end is surrounded by the outer body to safeguard against a person touching the contact element outer end. The inner end of each contact element is held spaced from the inner face of the carrier plate by the body inner arm that surrounds the inner end.
