ABSTRACT:
A strong U-channel shaped, spring clip of steel is used to retain by dual strong compressive clamping a strip conductor flexible flat ribbon cable at the edge of, and against a flat sheet substrate of epoxy or glass. Spring clamping is evenly uniformly exerted across all conductors across the width of the cable by finger-like spring segments integral with the clip. Stripped conductor ends of the ribbon cable are electrically connected to printed circuit lands upon the edge plane of the substrate by this clamping force. A second strong compressive force normal to the edge of the substrate is exerted by an elastomeric cellular silicone rubber pad at the base of the U-channel shaped spring clip which is held in strong compression when the spring clip is clamped upon the substrate. Assembly, disassembly, and reassembly are readily accomplished at zero sliding force or wear to connected conductors.
