A flatwire connector suitable for the automotive environment is provided. The connector generally includes a male connector having a housing receiving the flatwire and a female connector having a housing structured to receive the male connector. The male connector has surfaces which firmly engage the upper and lower surfaces of the flatwire to provide mechanical support thereto. Additionally, a spring-loaded shield is provided which automatically covers the exposed conductive elements of the flatwire protecting them from the environment. A primary lock is formed which allows simple mating of the male and female connectors while requiring a minimal mating or insertion force. Finally, the unique structure of the cover and its slidable locking member provide a simple to use, but secure and protective secondary locking feature to the connector.

An electrical connector (1) for electrically connecting a flexible printed circuit (FPC) with a printed circuit board (PCB). The connector includes an insulative housing (2), a shielding (3) mounted on the housing, and a plurality of conductive terminals (4) received in the housing. The shielding includes a first wall (31) and a second wall (32) parallel to the first wall. The second wall includes a plurality of grounding tabs (325) extending therefrom. This ensures that the housing receives the terminals stably, and this reduces manufacturing costs of the connector. Furthermore, a mating end (329) of the second wall has a double layered configuration. This ensures that the shielding having a good intension.

An embodiment of a cable system includes a cable that has a conductor, a power layer and dielectric material. The conductor is operative to carry a signal, the dielectric material is located at least partially between the conductor and the power layer, and the power layer is operative as ground. The power layer is formed of a conductive material and includes a first region and an adjacent second region. The first region includes a greater amount of the conductive material than the second region so that the power layer is less resistant to bending along the second region than along the first region. Methods and other systems are also provided.

An electrical connector assembly (1) includes a receptacle connector (10), a clamping device (20) and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) (30) having an edge (301) with conductive elements (300) thereon. The receptacle connector includes an insulative housing (100) defining a central slot (104) in a top surface (101) thereof and terminal passageways (1041) communicating with the central slot receiving respective conductive terminals (110). The clamping device includes two clamping panels (200) and two connecting sections (210) downwardly extending from two ends of the clamping panels. The clamping device defines a space (214) between the clamping panels for receiving the edge of the FPC. The edge of the FPC and the connecting section of the clamping device are inserted into the central slot of the housing and the conductive elements contacting respective terminals. The clamping panels clamp the FPC and the connecting sections thereof engaging with the housing.

A connector for connecting to ribbon cable corresponding to the SFF-8049 specification. The connector includes a plurality of ground contacts having an insulation displacement end that are positioned within a retainer plate so that the insulation displacement end of the ground contacts pierce the insulation surrounding every other conductor of the ribbon cable which comprise the grounded conductors forming the ground bus. Signal contacts having an insulation displacement end and a mating end are positioned within a body of the connector so that the insulation displacement end can be positioned through the retainer plate in an orientation where they will be able to engage with signal conductors within the ribbon cable. The plurality of ground contacts are configured to have tabs to engage with selected signal contacts so that grounded signal conductors within the ribbon cable can be connected to the ground bus in the connector. The signal contact further includes a mating end which is positioned within an opening in the base of the connector that is suitable for receiving the pins of a mating connector or pin array.

A connector is provided for electrically interconnecting the conductors of a flat flexible circuit to a plurality of discrete terminal pins. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a front mating face and a rear terminating face. A plurality of terminal pin-receiving passages are provided in the mating face. A flat circuit-receiving receptacle is provided in the terminating face in communication with the passages. A circuit carrier or spring member is insertable into the receptacle of the housing and includes an attachment portion for attaching the flat flexible circuit of the carrier with the conductors of the circuit facing away from the carrier toward the terminal pin receiving passages. Insertion of the pins in the passages causes the pins to engage the conductors of the circuit. The circuit carrier or spring member includes a spring loaded mouth into which the terminal pins are inserted into engagement with the conductors of the circuit. Cam means are provided to open the spring loaded mouth a given amount to apply a given contact force between the terminal pins and the conductors of the circuit.

A portion (21a) of each electric wire of a flat cable (20), defining a bottom portion of a bent portion thereof, is electrically press-connected to a press-connecting blade (13a) of a male terminal (13). Portions (21b, 21c) of the electric wire, disposed respectively at the front and rear sides of the electrically-connected portion of the electric wire, ride on wire holding ribs (14a, 14b), respectively. The ridden portions (21b, 21c) of the electric wire are pressed and held by a wire holding cover (16). The ridden portions (21b, 21c) of the electric wire bear the burden of a tension or a stress due to a pulling force applied to the flat cable, and therefore the tension will not act on the electrically-connected portion of the electric wire, press-connected to the press-connecting blade (13a).
