A connector for a flat flexible cable includes a cable housing and a contact having an elastic portion. The cable housing includes a first housing having a termination passage extending through the first housing and a second housing mated with the first housing. A flat conductor exposed in a window extending through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable is held between the first housing and the second housing. The elastic portion extends through the termination passage and elastically bears against the flat conductor to electrically connect the contact to the flat conductor.

An electrically conductive, single-piece flat part (100) for a plug with first and second contact pins (112, 114) are arranged in two parallel rows, and with a connector region for a cable. The part has a connecting element (102). Conductors (108, 110) which open into the first and second contact pins (112, 114) extend from the first and from the second side of the connecting element, the conductors (108, 110) which lie on the opposite sides of the connecting element (102) being connected to the connecting element (102) in a manner which is offset with respect to one another in such a way that the imaginary straight extension of a conductor (108, 110) runs on the one side of the connecting element (102) next to one or between two conductors (108, 110) on the opposite side of the connecting element (102). The first contact pins (112) are connected via an offset region (132) to the first conductors (108) which extend from the first side of the connecting element (102), which offset region (132) compensates for the offset of the first and second conductors (108, 110) on the connecting element (102).

A display module including display panel, first flexible connectors, second flexible connectors and printed circuit board (PCB) is provided. The first flexible connectors are electrically connected to the display panel. The second flexible connectors are respectively electrically connected to the first flexible connectors, and the second flexible connectors are electrically connected to the PCB.

An I/O connector assembly configured for making a cabled connection to an interior portion of a printed circuit board for at least some signals passing through the I/O connector. The I/O connector assembly may be assembled by mounting a cage to a printed circuit board. A receptacle connector, including cables extending from a rear of the connector, may be inserted through an opening in the top or rear of the cage. The receptacle connector may be positioned in the cage by at least one retention member on the cage. A plug, mating to the receptacle connector, also may be positioned by a retention member on the cage. Positioning both the plug and receptacle relative to the cage reduces the tolerance stackup of the assembly and enables the connectors to be designed with shorter wipe length, which enables higher frequency operation.

The described devices and methods facilitate optimal control of contact surfaces for Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) connectors, especially of a Zero-Insertion-Force (ZIF) format. Terminal alignment guides, in the form of edge supports added to the terminal base of the primary conductor of the described Self-Aligned Connector, prevent slippage from side to side as a ZIF connector applies force to press its receptacle pins against the terminals of the FFC, thereby reducing wear of the connections. Flared ends of the conductor tails prevent misalignment of multi-terminal connectors. End stops inserted within the FFC connector tails serve to control depth of insertion to facilitate impedance matching.

A cable includes a cable core formed of an electrically conductive material and an insulation at least partially encasing the cable core. The cable core is exposed in a contact zone in which the cable contacts an electrical conductor. A surface of the contact zone is filled substantially flush with a cable surface of the insulation.

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing, at least one transmission module mounted in the insulating housing, and a shell surrounding the insulating housing. The at least one transmission module includes a terminal assembly, a flexible printed circuit board and at least one pad. The terminal assembly is adhered to the flexible printed circuit board. The terminal assembly has at least one terminal which has a fastening portion. One end of the fastening portion is arched downward to form a bending portion. The flexible printed circuit board has a linking portion, and at least one conductive piece disposed to an inner surface of the linking portion. The fastening portion and the bending portion of the at least one terminal are mounted to the flexible printed circuit board. The at least one pad is disposed to the at least one conductive piece.
