Abstract:
1. A connector assembly for communicating electrical signals between a connector having a plurality of pins and a remote location, the assembly comprising: a mounting board mountable on the pins, the mounting board having a plurality of apertures for receiving and retaining the pins, the mounting board further having a plurality of conductive patterns formed thereon, each conductive pattern extending from one of the pin apertures to an associated mounting board connector pad formed on the mounting board; a flexible cable having a plurality of conductors extending therethrough and a plurality of cable connector pads, in electrical communication with an associated cable conductor, the flexible cable being disposed adjacent the mounting board such that the cable connector pads are arrayed proximate the mounting board connector pads in vertical registry therewith; a retaining member connected to the mounting board for urging the flexible cable connector pads into electrical communication with the mounting board connector pads; wherein the mounting board defines a substantially “D” shaped, defining a truncated circular periphery portion and a straight periphery portion, the mounting board connector pads being arrayed alone the straight periphery portion; and wherein the retaining member defines at least one retaining bar engageable to the mounting board, and a resilient member disposed intermediate the retaining bar and the mounting board.
