Abstract: A simple and highly effective method and apparatus for field terminating flat power cable such as used in undercarpet wiring systems. Each conductor, with tightly bonded insulation, of a multi-conductor flat power cable is (at the point of installation in-situ) slotted or cut through with thin narrow slots which leave corresponding narrow rectangular openings through the insulation and conductor. Then a thin conductive device or terminal with corresponding ribs which easily though precisely fit into the slots, is placed in the slot openings, is secured in place on the cable by a suitable means, and the assembly then crimped or flattened together to give a pressure-tight high-conductivity, electrically stable termination only about twice as thick as the insulated conductor. The applicator tooling may be a simple punch and die, and a hammer or pliers. An insulating "bandage" is applied over the termination and bonded to the conductor insulation thereby giving a water-tight joint impervious to corrosion. The metal or steel top shield required by the National Electrical Code is similarly terminated in order to assure "ground" continuity.

The connection includes a substantially rigid flexible circuit structure having a carrier of flat planar configuration with opposed surfaces. A flexible circuit is adhesively bonded to at least one surface with conductive traces of the circuit exposed.

Abstract: A terminal connector assembly for removably receiving end portions of a multiconductor cable includes a terminal block defining an array of interior elongate cavities. Each cavity is provided with a generally U-shaped terminal member having a pair of opposing spaced-apart side arms and an integral pair of opposing protruding contact portions. The protruding contact portions establish therebetween an entranceway of reduced cross-sectional dimension such that upon insertion of an end portion of the multiconductor cable therebetween, the contact portions establish electrical contact therewith. A housing cover is also disclosed whereby peninsular portions thereof are capable of resilient displacement so as to release gripping engagement with the multiconductor cable to permit withdrawal thereof while yet being resiliently biased into gripped engagement with the multiconductor cable when the latter is inserted into the terminal connector assembly so as to assist in maintaining electrical contact between the multiconductor cable and the protruding contact portions of the U-shaped terminal member.

Abstract: A connector for effecting releasable contact between individual electrical conductors of a printed circuit board and corresponding overlapping exposed conductors of a flat multiconductor cable comprises an elongate U-shaped resilient member having a pair of longitudinally extending legs. A plurality of cantilevered spring members are spaced longitudinally along one of said legs, projecting transversely therefrom in a direction toward the other leg. Means are provided for releasably affixing the connector to the board such that the spring members are positioned in registry with the overlapping conductors. The spring members are dimensioned with respect to the affixing means such that when the connector is assembled to the board the spring members engage and resiliently press the overlapping exposed cable conductors against the corresponding circuit board conductors thereby establishing electrical connection therebetween. A cantilevered member extending lengthwise on the other leg substantially opposite the spring members is dimensioned with respect to the affixing means so as to press the connected cable against the circuit board thereby providing strain relief therefor.

Abstract: An insulator for covering an electric cable has circular recesses for receiving any portions of a connector which extend beyond a surface of the cable covered by the insulator. If the connector extends between overlapping portions of a pair of cables, the connector and the overlapping portions of the cables can be completely enveloped by sandwiching them between a pair of insulators. The diameter of each recess is chosen so as to closely accommodate the extending portions of its associated connector and to provide a substantial barrier of insulation about the connector out to the edges of the cables being joined to prevent moisture, dirt and other contaminents from reaching the connector and causing its degradation or shorting.
