Abstract

A low permittivity connector for providing a plurality of contacts disposed substantially parallel at predetermined spacings relative to each other. Ribbon-type conductors are disposed on a low-permittivity dielectric sheet and exposed on at least one side of the sheet. Wires are contacting respective ribbon-type conductors, disposed in a longitudinal direction relative to the conductors, and projecting as pins from an edge at one end of the low-permittivity dielectric sheet. A housing holds the low-permittivity dielectric sheet, the ribbon-type conductors, and the wires by way of joining sheets and having openings in the area of the ribbon-type conductors at a second end of the low-permittivity sheet for allowing insertion of pins projected from a like connector. A flat cable comprises a plurality of wires formed of a hard cord covered by a conductive layer, plurality of ribbon-type contacts contacting respective wires and a sheet which supports the ribbon-type contacts. Said sheet at least partially covers a surface of the wires. An insulation layer structure covers and holds the plurality of wires, the plurality of ribbon-type contacts, and the sheet, thereby providing support to the wires arranged at a predetermined separation distance relative to each other.
