Problems solved by technology

If the circuit is set upside down on the standoff, the conductors will be oriented away from the intended mating electrical interface, which can result in an undesired open circuit at the interface

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Please refer to all drawings and see first figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention is an electrical connector labeled 10, which has a base, the base is a long and narrow male body 12, the male body 12 has a guide edge 14, as described below, on the guide edge 14 A flexible circuit can be mounted to the male body 12 . A pair of side guide walls 12 a are formed on opposite sides behind the guide edge 14 of the male body 12 . A cover plate 16 is pivotally mounted on the body 12 and can be accessed from, for example, figure 1 The open position shown is pivoted in the direction of arrow "A" to Figure 4 closed position shown. A pair of snap arms 18 formed on opposite sides of the body 12 are used to engage with a pair of snap shoulders 20 formed on opposite sides of the cover 16 so that the cover 16 is in a closed position to ensure that the flat flexible circuit is held in the connected position. inside the device. A side 21 extends forward from the guide ed...

Abstract

A polarizing system is provided in a connector for electrically interconnecting the conductors of a flat flexible circuit to the conductors of a complementary connecting device. The flat flexible circuit has a longitudinal center-line and a pattern of polarizing holes therein asymmetrical to the center-line. A connector body member positions the flat flexible circuit thereon and has an asymmetrical pattern of polarizing posts insertable into the polarizing holes of the flat flexible circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular to a connector for electrically connecting a flexible circuit. Background technique [0002] Conventional flat flexible circuits consist of an elongated flat flexible insulating layer spaced on one or both sides by strips of conductors which are covered by a thin flexible protective layer on one or both sides of the circuit. If a protective cover is used, an opening is formed to expose the conductors within where the conductors are to be mated with the conductors of the mating connection device, which may be a second flat flex circuit, printed circuit board or divider of the mating connector. style terminals. [0003] In recent years, there have been extensive changes in the design of this type of connector for connecting flat flex circuits and mating connection devices. However, problems with such connectors remain. For example, it's worth considering that flat flex circuits can easily...
