ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit connector is formed from a flexible printed circuit comprising a plurality of embedded electrically conductive lines partially exposed at a first end of the flexible printed circuit by bending or folding the flexible printed circuit to enable said first end to mate with a board mounted connector, thereby eliminating the need for a mating connector. When the flexible circuit connector is properly inserted into the board mounted connector, the mating of said plurality of exposed electrically conductive lines of said flexible circuit connector with a plurality of metal contacts on the board mounted connector provides an electrical interface between the flexible printed circuit and the board mounted circuit, as well as the boards on which the flexible printed circuit and board mounted connector are attached.
