Zusammenfassung:A terminal assembly (10) for terminating a flexible circuit strip (12) that has a flexible conductor (e.g., 14A) extending along the strip. The assembly includes a terminus portion (24) of the strip (12) that has a registration opening (e.g., 40A). A rigid electrical contact (e.g., 28A) has a portion (34) that is pierced into the flexible conductor (e.g., 14A) and a portion (30) that extends away from the terminus portion (24) of the strip (12). A carrier (42) has a registration projection (e.g., 46A) that extends through the registration opening (e.g., 40A) and a retainer portion (e.g., 50A) engaged with the portion (30) of the contact (e.g., 28A) that extends away from the terminus portion (24) of the strip (12) to hold the contact at an orientation relative to the terminus portion of the strip.
