ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting the circuitry on a pair of flexible cables, the connector including a base member for having the two cables located thereon, means for aligning the two cables in precise alignment (e.g., a pair of pins on the base member), a clamp member for occupying first and second positions relative to the base member (the flexible cables being compressed and the circuitry thereof being in direct contact when the clamp is in the second position), compressible means (e.g., an elastomeric member) located between the clamp and base members for engaging at least one of the flexible cables to exert a force thereagainst when compressed, and retention means for retaining the clamp member in the second (clamping) position such that a high density connection is provided between both flexible cables. In one embodiment, the clamp is pivotally located on the base member, while in another embodiment the retention means is rotationally located on the clamp member. In both embodiments, a cam type of engagement is used.
