ABSTRACT:
A flexible circuit connector for electrically connecting two electronic devices. The connector includes a flexible circuit sheet having electrically conductive traces which lead from a first electronic device, such as a memory chip, to two arrays of electrically conductive pads. The connector includes a connector housing having two spaced, substantially parallel side walls connected by a front wall having a row of holes adjacent each of the side walls to receive two rows of conductive pins which are connected to a second electronic device, such as a printed circuit board. A unitary, locally deformable, biasing member is positioned within the connector housing and between the two array of conductive pads. The biasing member forces the two arrays of pads into electrical contact with the two rows of pins when the pins are inserted into the holes in the front wall of the connector housing.
