ABSTRACT:
A film circuit connector assembly comprises matable housing assemblies each including an outer insulating housing receiving a film circuit supporting member carrying a film circuit with a mating contact area therein extending away from a mating face along a film circuit supporting wall with a circuit board engaging area of the film circuit extending out from a base of the housing assembly. A cylindrical spring is mounted in a recess extending along at least one film supporting wall in engagement with a rear face of a contact area pressing the contact areas of the mating connectors together. In one example, the housing assembly clamps free ends of the film circuit conductors in resiliently deformed condition into engagement with the circuit board. Apertures may be formed through the insulating web of the circuit board engaging area exposing conductive tracks thereof at locations corresponding to respective reflow solder pads of a circuit board and forming pockets receiving and confining the reflowing solder therein to avoid solder bridges being formed between adjacent tracks.
