ABSTRACT:
A flat cable connector includes a housing on which a cover is positioned. A strain relief is positioned on the cover to interpose a portion of a flat cable therebetween. A leading end of the flat cable is bent over the cover and interposed between the cover and the housing. Insulation displacement contact (IDC) elements are retained in the housing and pierce into wires of the flat cable to establish electrical connection therewith. Pins are mounted on the cover and extend through holes defined in the strain relief and the housing. Free ends of the pins are mechanically deformed to secure the strain relief and the cover to the housing. The pins may be integrally formed with the cover. Alternatively, the pins are replaced by rivets which extend through holes defined in the strain relief, the cover and the housing to rivet them together.
