The upper part includes an upward resilient arm extending into the receiving cavity for mechanically and electrically connecting to the CPU, and a bottom connecting section. The lower part includes a downward resilient arm extending toward the PCB for mechanically and electrically connecting to the PCB, and a top connecting section. The bottom connecting section and the top connecting section are mechanically and electrically connected to each other.

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.
