Abstract

Um bei einem elektrischen Verbinder, welcher ein Gehäuse (3) mit einer Öffnung (6) umfaßt, in die ein endseitig mit elektrischen Anschlußflächen versehener Folienleiter (2) einführbar ist, wobei in dem Gehäuse mehrere Kontaktelemente (23) angeordnet sind, die beim Einführen des Folienleiters (2) mit den Anschlußflächen (29) kontaktieren, eine möglichst einfache elektrische Anbindung des Folienleiters (2) bei gleichzeitig hoher Zuverlässigkeit der Verbindung zu gewährleisten, wird vorgeschlagen, ein Klemmglied (4) an dem Gehäuse (3) verschiebbar anzuordnen, das durch die Spannkraft eines Federelementes (20) gegen wenigstens ein in dem Gehäuse beweglich gelagertes Sperrglied angedrückt wird, wobei der Folienleiter (2) beim Einführen in die Öffnung (6) des Gehäuses (3) das Sperrglied in eine das Klemmglied (4) freigebende Entriegelungsstellung verschiebt, so daß das Klemmglied (4) durch die Spannkraft des Federelementes (20) in das Gehäuse (3) einschnappt und den Folienleiter (2) mit den Anschlußflächen gegen die Kontaktelemente andrückt.

In the case of an electrical connector which comprises a housing (3) with an opening (6) into which a foil conductor (2) provided at the end with electrical connection surfaces can be inserted, wherein a plurality of contact elements (23) are arranged in the housing and are used during insertion Contact the foil conductor (2) with the connection surfaces (29) to ensure the simplest possible electrical connection of the foil conductor (2) with high reliability of the connection, it is proposed to arrange a clamping member (4) on the housing (3) so that it can slide is pressed by the tensioning force of a spring element (20) against at least one locking member movably mounted in the housing, the foil conductor (2) when inserted into the opening (6) of the housing (3) the locking member into an unlocking position releasing the clamping member (4) moves so that the clamping member (4) snaps into the housing (3) by the tensioning force of the spring element (20) and the foil Press the conductor (2) with the connection surfaces against the contact elements.
