Abstract
Connector clip for connecting conductors in a flat cable to conductors on a circuit board comprises a clip bar having parallel side edges, reversely formed cantilever springs extending from one end of the edges, and flanges extending from the ends of the clip bar. The connector clip is mounted on the circuit board with the ends of the springs resiliently biased against the circuit board conductors. The cable is inserted between the ends of the springs and the surfaces of the circuit board conductors to connect the cable conductors to the circuit board conductors. The circuit board conductors may be either terminal posts or flat conductors on the surface of the board. Strain relief means are provided for positive locking of the cable.
