Zusammenfassung:An electrical connector (10) for connecting a terminal portion (12) of a first flexible circuit (14) to a terminal portion (16) of a second flexible circuit (18) has a first clamp member (26) and a second clamp (28) member that cooperate to clamp the terminal portions against each other. Each clamp member has a bed (30) with a support (31)cooperating with the support of the other clamp member for clamping the terminal portions of the flexible circuits together. Each bed has two posts (32) and two assembly holes (34). Each post engages a pilot hole (24) of each terminal portion and an assembly hole of the other bed to orient and position the terminal portions of the flexible circuits with respect to the clamp members and the clamp members with respect to each other. Each clamp member also has two latch arms (40) and two lock nibs (42) for engaging respective lock nibs and latch arms of the other clamp member for attaching the clamp members to each other. The clamp members are preferably identical but may come in several versions (26, 28, 128, 228) that are interchangeable.
