ABSTRACT:
A connection assembly in which the ends of two flat cables overlap each other with bared conductive layers thereon held in resilient engagement with each other by a connector. At least one of the flat cables is capable of being withdrawn laterally from the connector. Offset polarizing pins in the connector extend through different length slots in the movable flat cable. The slots open at the end of the cable so that when the cable is withdrawn from the connector, the cable will not be torn, or resist withdrawal of the cable from the connector. A conductive shielding bead is formed on the opposed surfaces of the two halves of the connector around the contacting regions of the cables. An insulative flap is formed over the bared conductive layers on the movable cable which prevents such layers from engaging the shielding bead when the cable is withdrawn from the connector.
