Abstract
A connector for establishing connection between a printed wiring board and a ribbon-type cable through terminals on the printed wiring board and a corresponding contacts on the cable. The contacts are positioned to engage the terminals when the printed wiring board, the ribbon cable, and a resilient pad are compressed between a base and a frame. The frame is urged towards the base by clamps each including a handle pivoted about a pivot point on the frame acting to pull links, which are engaged with hooks attached to the base, toward the frame. Alignment pins are provided extending from the base towards the frame to position the pad and the ribbon cable and prevent their lateral motion relative to the base. A pair of alignment tongues extend from the base at an oblique angle and engage alignment bores in ears of the frame to maintain the frame in alignment with the base while providing wiping action for the contacts during engagement. A pair of handle locks retain the handles in an operated position.
