ABSTRACT:
A flexible printed wiring arch connector, having first and second sets of finger-like projections integrally formed on opposite sides of an elongated substrate, is adapted to be inserted and flexibly secured into corresponding apertures of a receiving printed circuit board. A plurality of electrical conductors are formed on the substrate along the elongated dimension thereof. Connector leads, formed on the finger-like projections, are electrically connected to desired individual ones of the conductors and extend in a direction generally perpendicular to the conductors. Arcuate bending of the projections and connector leads in a direction crosswise of the elongated substrate disposes the projections and connector leads for insertion and retention under a restoring spring force in the circuit board apertures. Once flexibly secured in place, the flexible printed wiring arch connector is ready for soldering.
