Abstract:
An electrical connection termination device for connecting to a flat cable where the flat cable includes a flat conductor and an insulative layer, the electrical connection termination device comprising:a box contact having a box structure at a first end and a strain relief structure at a second end, the box structure having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side so as to form an aperture, the first side having a flexible tab extending into the aperture, and the third side opposes the first side, and whereinthe strain relief structure is attachable to the insulative layer, and whereinthe flat conductor is extendable through the aperture and is positionable adjacent the third side of the box structure, and whereinthe first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side each have a respective edge which forms a rim surrounding an opening of the aperture, and whereinthe box structure has an interior surface facing the aperture, and an exterior surface, and whereinthe flat conductor is folded over the edge so as to be positioned adjacent the exterior surface so as to prevent the flat conductor from being pushed into the aperture when a post is introduced into the aperture.
