    Abstract: An electrical connector (10) for electrically connecting the circuitry on a pair of flexible cables (13, 15), the connector including a base member (31) for having the two cables located thereon, means (33) for aligning the two cables in precise alignment (e.g., a pair of pins (35, 37) on the base member), a clamp member (61) for occupying first and second positions relative to the base member (the flexible cables being compressed and the circuitry thereof being in direct contact when the clamp is in the second position), compressible means (81) (e.g., an elastomeric member (85)) located between the clamp and base members for engaging at least one of the flexible cables to exert a force thereagainst when compressed, and retention means (65) for retaining the clamp member in the second (clamping) position such that a high density connection is provided between both flexible cables. In one embodiment, the clamp is pivotally located on the base member, while in another embodiment the retention means is rotationally located on the clamp member. In both embodiments, a cam type of engagement is used.

    Abstract: An electronic package (10) including a first circuitized substrate (13) (e.g., printed circuit board) and a flexible circuitized substrate (27) wherein the flexible substrate is precisely aligned in removable manner relative to the first substrate. This is accomplished utilizing a retention member (50) and associated frame member (33), the flexible circuitized substrate being precisely aligned and secured to the frame member. Elastomeric pressure exertion members (21) are utilized to exert pressure against each of a plurality of individual circuitized sections of the flexible circuit member to thus effect engagement between the flexible substrate's contacts and respective conductors which constitute part of the circuit on the first substrate. Moveable clamp members may also be used to engage extending posts of the retention member, said clamp (67) members also possibly acting against a stiffener member located on the first substrate's opposite surface from the flexible sub-trate.
