Connector, particularly for airbag ignition systems

A flex circuit connector for a cable particularly adapted for airbag ignition systems, comprising a casing part with a holder for a flat conductor strip, and means for contacting the casing part with contact ends, wherein the contacting means are metal strips, having crimp plates formed on metal strips first end portions near the cable, and

• the metal strips being connected at metal strips second end portions to one of the contact ends the crimp plates including both an upper surface and underside region, the upper surface of the crimp plates including crimp profiles, and the underside regions of the crimp plates positioned below the crimp profiles being suspended over an opening included in the casing wherein metal strips include downwardly protruding bent lugs, the lugs being anchored in grooves positioned in a rear part of a bottom part of the casing thereby holding the crimp profiles and providing an improved mechanical holding of the plates,
• further wherein a rear upper part of the casing is provided and fastened to the casing by slide grooves which when viewed in a direction for fitting the rear upper part of the casing extend downwards, and while fastened is movable between a pre-assembly position in which the crimp profiles are accessible and a space for inserting a crimping tool is left above a crimping plate region, and a final assembly position in which the crimp profiles and the crimping plate region are covered.
