FLAT FLEXIBLE CABLE CONNECTOR
Abstract
Effort was made to promote the development of better methods of terminating flat flexible cable, and inspiring original approaches to simplify its installation. The primary requirements for the new type connector were that the connector be capable of being installed in the field with a minimum of tooling; and, that it provide a highly reliable environmentally sealed connector. Secondary requirements were that the connector mate with, or be adaptable to, the ultraminiature printed circuit connectors; that it be suitable for rack and panel applications, and that it be fitted with or be capable of being fitted with latches to permit its use as an unmounted disconnect. Summarized are the various changes from the original concept, and the reasons for them; the research work on the insulation piercing concept; and, a brief analysis of the results of the tests.
