Abstract:
A high-density connector arrangement for flat multiconductor cables has a support housing, and flat cable support members held by the support housing. The cable supports may be organized in banks for increasing density of conductors, and are preferably releasably secured to the support housing. Contact between conductors on mating cable supports of two connectors is enhanced by providing resiliency of engagement, by causing the cable to arc outward or partially splitting the supports or providing a resilient layer arranged between the cable tape and its support.
