ABSTRACT:
A flex film card edge connector includes a substantially planar substrate having opposite major surfaces joined at an edge; and a flexible film wrapped around the edge and supported on both of the major surfaces. A first and second set of conductive pads are arrayed along the edges on one and the other of the major surfaces. The flexible film has a span that extends around the edge without any electrical connection between the first set of conductive pads and the second set of conductive pads. A flex film cable assembly includes a flexible film configured as an elongated strip having first and second ends, and the flex film card edge connector at least one of the ends. Methods of manufacturing both the flex film card edge connector and the flex film cable assembly are also disclosed.
