Description
~3~
, connections between a flat flexible cable and a further_connector.
This inven~ion relates to an electrlcal connector, and particularly to an elec rical connector for establishlng connection~ between the conductors of a flat flexible multi-conductor elec~rical cable and terminals of a further electrical ;; connector, when the pitch o~ the conductors in the cable difers from that of the terminals in the further connector.
It is sometimes required to connect the conductors of a flat flexible multi conductor electr~cal cable to individual terminals of an lS Plectrical conn2ctor when the pitch of, that is the spacing bet~een, the conductors dlffers from that of the terminals.
One known method of establishin~ such connections involves separating the conductors of the cable from each other over a certain dist~nce, and then physically rearranging the conductors to accord with the pitch of the terminals of the connector.
;~
Howetrer, this me~hod is laborious and thus time consuming and expensive.
It is also known to connect the conductors of th2 cable to indi~idual cir~uit paths c~rried by ;` ' ,. .. : . ~.. ~ .,- .

7~g7 an insulating substrate, the substrate then being mated with the connector with the circuit paths electrically connected to receptacle terminals of the connector.
~ owever, in this known method the conductors are connected to the circuit paths on the substrate by removing insulation from the conductors and then soldering or otherwise bonding the thus exposed conductor portions to the circuit paths. This method is therefore also laborious and thus time consuming and expensive.
According to this invention there is provided an electrical con-nector comprising a body of electrically insulating material carrying aplurality of electrical contacts all lying in a common plane, each contact having a first contact portion accessible adjacent one side of the body, and a second contact portion projecti.ng from the body and in the form of a slotted plate for receiving and establishing electrical connection to a conductor of a 1at flexible multiconductor electrical cable, all the second contact portions extending in the same direction, and the pitch distance between the first contact portions being different from that of the second contact portions, in which each contact is in the form of a planar metal strip having the body moulded thereon, the first contact portion of each contact being a portion of the strip extending across a window in the body.

The connector of this invention has the advantages that the con-tacts thereof can be simple planar members stamped from a strip of metal, with the body being moulded about portions of -the contacts prior -to separation of the contacts from the remainder of the strip which serves as a carrier prior to moulding of the body. The contac-ts~can simply be shaped such that the pitch of their first contact por-tions is different from that of their second contact por-tions, the connector thus meeting the requirement discussed above. Further, in view of the method of connection between the first contact portions and the terminals of the further connector, and between the second con-tact portions and the conductors of the cable, the connector is simple to install, and does not require any pretreatment of the cable prior to connection.
This invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawings, in which:-Figure 1 is a perspec-tive view of a connector assembly including two connectors according to this invention;

The assembly shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises two connectors 1 according to this invention providing ; 20 connections between the conductors of a flat flexible multi-conductor electrical cable 2 and respective terminals of a further connector 3 o~ the type ~: disclosed in U.S. Patent Specification No. 3760335.
Each connector 1 comprises a body 4 of : 25 electrically lnsulating plastics material carrying : a plurality of electrical contacts 5 all lying in a common plane, to which contacts 5 the conductors :. - 5 -- ~ ~

As shown in Figure 3, the contacts 5 o~
the two connectors 1 are ralatively longitudinally staggered such that the contacts 5 of each connector connect to only alternate conductors o~ the cable 2.

A body 4 is then moulded about each contact arrangemellt 9, ; and the carrier strip portions 10 and all ar~ then removed to isolate the contacts 5 of each arrangement from each other as required.
As shown, each contact 5 has a first contact portion 12 accessible throu~h a window 13 in the associated body 4, and a second contact portion 14 - ~5 projecting from the body 4, all the associated second contact portions 14 extending in the same direction and lying in the common plane of the strip.
