Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0540260A2] An electrical connector (10) for connecting individual conductors (27) of an electrical cable (28) to a printed circuit board (11) comprises electrical terminals (26) and a similarly constructed electrical terminal (50). Each electrical terminal (26) is characterized in that it has an actuator arm (32) having a first leg portion (36) a second leg portion (38) a third leg portion (40) and a joining portion joining the first, second and third leg portions (6, 38, 40). An actuator (22) is positioned in an actuation area (44) between engaging surfaces which causes the electrical terminal (26) to be positioned in a home position in the insulating housing (12) As the actuator (22) is moved further into an actuation area (44) the engaging surfaces move into pinched engagement with the conductor (26) of the cable (28). <IMAGE>
