AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing FFC terminal connectors suffer from high resistance, mechanical unreliability, and low efficiency, especially when used in automotive wiring harnesses with existing components, requiring complex equipment and customized crimping.

⚗Method used

The connector design, which includes a housing and conductive terminals, uses a clamping housing and clamping elements to clamp the FFC conductors onto the terminals, avoiding soldering or traditional crimping, and establishing an electrical connection through clamping force.

🎯Benefits of technology

It achieves low-resistance, high-mechanical-reliability electrical connections, simplifies the termination process, improves efficiency, and enhances mechanical stability in harsh environments.

Abstract

A connector (100) for a flat flexible cable or flat printed cable (10) includes a housing portion (110) and a plurality of terminals (30). The housing portion (110) includes a plurality of terminal receiving channels (122), each channel receiving a contact portion (32) of one of the plurality of terminals (30). A plurality of conductors (12) exposed in windows (21, 23, 25) extending through an insulating material (14) of the flat flexible cable (10) are each clamped in a termination portion (36) of one of the plurality of terminals (30) by a clamping force exerted thereon by a cover (200) selectively securable relative to the housing portion (110).
