ABSTRACT:
A connector for ribbon-to-wire conductors includes a clip for holding a ribbon conductor and a housing for retaining a series of wire conductors. To connect the system, a ribbon conductor containing exposed conductors on one surface of its free end is extended over the free end of an upper segment of the clip which is then inserted into the opening of the housing until a shoulder on the base of the clip engages the back wall of the housing locking the clip containing the ribbon conductor to the housing. In another embodiment of the electrical connecting system, a housing and a retainer snap together to sandwich exposed electrical contacts of two ribbon conductors and/or electrical surface contacts of a flexible or rigid circuit board. To connect the system, the ribbon conductors are placed over opposite ends of the circuit board to engage contacts thereon and the retainer is snapped to the housing. In yet another embodiment of the electrical conductor connecting system, a ribbon conductor is placed on a mandrel that has locating posts at its outer edges to align the apertures of the ribbon conductor with the apertures in the mandrel. To connect the system, a female connector/wire harness is pushed onto the mandrel so the pins of the female connector/wire harness pass through the deformable apertures in the ribbon conductor and the mandrel to provide an electrical connection between the exposed electrical contacts of the ribbon conductor and the pins of the wire conductors. In another embodiment, ribbon connectors are to be located over a mandrel and interconnected by use of a clip.
