Abstract
A system provides an electrical connection with a flat circuit and includes a generally rigid dielectric support structure. The flat circuit is located on one side of the support structure. A terminal includes a contact portion at an opposite side of the support structure for electrically engaging a complementary connecting device. A shank portion of the terminal extends from the contact portion through the support structure. A terminating portion at an end of the shank portion is terminated to an appropriate conductor of the flat circuit at the one side of the support structure.
