ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector(12) adapted to be used with a plastic sheet (15) on a circuit board (13) to effect electrical connection between registering conductive areas of conductive strips 17 and 14 on the adjacent surfaces, of respectively, the sheet and the board. The connector comprises (a) a housing (20) adapted to be placed over the sheet and board and having legs (22) with means at their lower ends to couple the housing to the board (13), and (b) a pressure generating body (41) adjustable in the housing (20) between a first setting at which the body exerts no significant pressure and a second setting at which the body exerts downward pressure on the sheet resulting in a pressing together of the said registering conductive areas on the sheet and board.
