ABSTRACT:
A connector (12) for flexible printed circuits comprises connector contacts (22) associated with a moulded plastics body (10) each having a first terminal (24) for connection to conductors of the printed circuit and a second terminal (28) e.g. providing part of a plug connector and a securing member (30) attached e.g. by ultrasonic welding retaining the contacts (22) in position and have moulded therein discharge contacts (36) each spaced from a respective one of the contacts (22) by a distance (which may be chosen according to the discharge voltage required) corresponding to a desired spark gap. Preferably the connector (12) has means (34) associated with the member (30) by which the connector is secured in a desired position e.g. on a car body. Preferably the contacts (36) are connected to a common conductor (38) which is earthed e.g. by contact with a screw used with the means (34) to secure the connector (12).
