ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection system with terminals connecting multiple flex circuits for use as a power distribution system in automotive vehicles is disclosed. The system comprises a housing first and second templates (266, 244), wherein the first template includes a first cavity having a first internal housing wall and the second template includes a second cavity having a second internal housing wall (246), wherein the first and second templates are positioned so that the first and second cavities are aligned with each other, a terminal (200) extending through the first and second cavities and having a first fork-shaped portion (208) and a second fork shaped portion (203), wherein each of the first and second fork-shaped portions have open and closed ends and a free extending fork arm (206, 202), wherein the closed end of the first fork-shaped portion is affixed at the open end of the second fork-shaped portion; an external edge on each free-extending fork arm including a rounded protrusion (204), wherein the terminal comprises a singular planar piece; and first and second flex circuits (16, 14) substantially overlaying the templates, each with a part between one of the internal housing walls and one of the rounded protrusions.
