ABSTRACT:
A high density connector (12 ) for connecting to circuitry on a flexible circuit substrate (16). The connector (12 ) includes a stiffener member (14 ) that is attached to the connector housing (36 ) so that the flexible substrate (16) is clamped therebetween. Tails (46) of ground buses (40) within the connector extend through flexible substrate (16 ) and through openings (48) in the stiffener member (14) and are bent over into recesses (58) to hold the stiffener member (14) and connector (12) firmly against the substrate (16) along the entire length of the connector. Pivotal levers (90) are provided to cooperate with the stiffener member (14) to secure connector (12 ) to a mating connector (18 ) in mating engagement when pivoted to a closed position, and to separate the connectors (12,18 ) with minimum bowing of connector (12) when pivoted to an open position.
