ABSTRACT:
A FFC connector comprises a dielectric housing having top and bottom faces. The top face defines an elongate slot extending into the housing and the bottom face defining an entrance in communication with the elongate slot for insertion of a FFC cable. A plurality of terminal cells is defined in the housing and each terminal cell being in communication with the elongate slot. A plurality of terminals is assembled in the terminal cells and each terminal includes a base portion received in the housing and a spring arm extending from the terminal cell into the elongate slot. The terminal further forms a soldering tail for mounting to a printed circuit board.
