ABSTRACT:
A connector for a flat multiconductor flexible cable having a support surface for the cable having a nonplanar portion, and a clamping member having a clamping surface nonplanar in part which is complementary to the support surface for restraining longitudinal motion of the cable relative to the connector by forcing the cable into conformity with the contour of the support and clamping surfaces, and for stiffening the cable adjacent an array of electrical contacts to provide the cable with a rigid contact surface irrespective of localized contact between the clamping member and the flat cable. The clamping member is integrally hinged to a base member including the supporting surface, the hinge being interrupted to form an entrance aperture for the cable and guide surfaces for the cable, and a keying means cooperating with a notch in the end of the cable for insuring correct insertion of the cable.
