Abstract
An FFC connector having a strain relief comprises an elongate dielectric housing having front and rear faces. The front face defines a lengthwise slot for receiving a flat flexible cable therein. The housing defines a plurality of passageways in communication with the slot. Each passageway receives a terminal therein for electrical connection with an inserted flat flexible cable. The strain relief is assembled to the housing for attaching a portion of the flat flexible cable to the housing thereby limiting any motion between cable conductors of the flat flexible connector and contacts of the terminals.
