Abstract (en)
An electrical connector system (10) includes a flat flexible circuit (56) having at least one pin-receiving hole (60) therein, and a printed circuit board (14) having at least one pin-receiving hole (46b) therein aligned with the hole in the flat flexible circuit. An electrical connector (16) includes a dielectric housing (50) and a dual-diameter terminal pin (68) having a distal end (68a) of a smaller diameter and a proximal end (68b) of a larger diameter. When the connector is mounted to the flat flexible circuit (56) and the printed circuit board (14), the distal end (68a) of the pin (68) can be inserted successively through the hole (60) in the flat flexible circuit (56) with minimal insertion resistance and into the hole (46b) in the printed circuit board (14), while the proximal end (68b) of the pin can be inserted into the hole (60) in the flat flexible circuit (56) with higher insertion resistance. <IMAGE>
