ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting electrical conductors (2b) of a flat electrical cable (2) to electrical conductive areas of a circuit board comprises a dielectric housing (3) having electrical contacts (5) secured in the housing with spring contact sections (5b) located within the housing and terminating sections (5a) extending outwardly from the housing. A cover member (4) is movably mounted on the housing (3) from an open position to permit a section (2a) of the cable (2) to be positioned along the housing (3) and a closed position whereby the cable section (2a) is forced by the cover member (4) against the spring contact sections (5b) so that the contact sections (5b) electrically engage the respective electrical conductors (2b). Securing members (6) of the cover member (4) clampingly engage the cable section (2a) between the securing members (6) and the housing (3) when the cover member ( 4) is in the closed position thereby securing the cable between the housing (3) and cover member (4).
