ABSTRACT:
A connector adapted to couple stripped electrically conductive wires of a flat cable with the traces of a printed circuit board through a mating connector upstanding from the printed circuit board. The connector comprises a housing formed with a longitudinal central slot adapted to receive an electrically conductive ground bus. The upper end of the bus is adapted to retain stripped ground wires of the flat cable by crimping and soldering. The lower end of the bus is adapted to be received within the mating connector. A plurality of parallel apertures are formed in the housing on opposite sides of the bus to receive signal contact, the upper ends of which are adapted to retain stripped signal wires of the flat cable by soldering. The lower ends of the signal contacts are adapted to be received within the mating connector. The connector also includes front and rear cover halves couplable between the housing and the printed circuit board and adapted to receive and support therebetween the flat cable above its stripped wires. Also disclosed is the method of using the connector.
