Provided are terminal-free connectors for flexible interconnect circuits. A connector comprises a housing chamber defined by at least a first side wall and a second side wall oppositely positioned about the base. An edge support is positioned at each of the first side wall and the second side wall. The edge supports allow for precise placement of the flexible interconnect circuit inside the housing chamber. A cover piece is coupled to the base via a first hinge, and is configured to move between a released position and a clamped position. The cover piece includes a clamp portion securing the flexible interconnect circuit against the edge supports in the clamped position. A slider may be configured to move between an extended position and an inserted position within the housing chamber, and may include a convex upper surface configured to urge the flexible interconnect circuit upwards in the inserted position.

Connector Rear Cover, Connector System, and Assembly Method

A connector rear cover includes a middle portion having a first edge and a second edge, a first lateral portion having a first lateral edge, and a second lateral portion having a second lateral edge. The first lateral portion is connected to the middle portion by a first hinge and the second lateral portion is connected to the middle portion by a second hinge so that the connector rear cover is foldable between an open and a closed state. The first edge of the middle portion faces the first lateral edge of the first lateral portion and the second edge of the middle portion faces the second lateral edge of the second lateral portion. The edges have recesses such that, in the closed state, there are openings between the middle portion and the first lateral portion and between the middle portion and the second lateral portion that receive electric conductors.
