ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for terminating a flat electrical circuit. The connector includes a dielectric housing having an opening for receiving an end of a flat circuit. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and have contact portions exposed in the opening. An actuator is movably mounted on the housing for movement between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the actuator allows the flat circuit to be inserted into the opening. In the closed position, the actuator biases the flat circuit against the contact portions of the terminals. The actuator is magnetized, and a second magnetic component is mounted for drawing the actuator to its closed position due to magnetic attraction forces between the magnetized actuator and the magnetic component.
