Abstract
Flexible electrical connectors are employed to connect rigid members, such as plugs and printed circuit boards. Such connectors have a tendency to tear, especially in the region near the rigid member, and this can prove expensive to remedy. The invention provides reinforcing thread members, for example, along the connector which prevent any tear which may develop from growing further.
