ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically conductive connection to electrically conductive contact pads of a circuit comprising a rigid housing; a resilient flexible circuit assembly captively housed, at least in part, in the housing and having an end portion carrying a row of conductive circuit areas on one face thereof corresponding to the row of pads; the assembly being permitted a limited desired float, so that the areas are self aligning with and are resiliently urged into electrically conductive contact with the pads when the connector is attached at a desired location to the circuit. The elements have alignment features engaging a cooperating feature of the circuit to register the areas with the pads, when the connector is attached at a desired location to the circuit, with sufficient accuracy to ensure that only the desired conductive contact between the areas and the pads is achieved.
