Abstract:
Electrical connector for establishing a connection to at least one conductor essentially arranged in a flexible foil, comprising:a dielectric housing with a receptacle for the insertion of the flexible foil and of the at least one conductor, at least one contact pin (5) for establishing an electrical contact to the at least one conductor (15), wherein the contact pin exerts a force on the electrical conductor (15) which force exerted by the contact pin (5) ensures both a mechanical bearing of the conductor (15) on the contact pin (5), and the provision of the electrical contact, anda first device (13) which comprises an essentially annular region of the connector and forms a strain relief for mechanically holding the conductor (15) or the foil (14) together with the conductor (15) such that the conductor (15) or the foil (14) together with the conductor (15) is mechanically held by the essentially annular region (13) of the connector as the contact pin (5) is pressed in.
