Patent Abstract

The cable connector (1) has a line connection arranged in an electric insulated housing (11) such the two free spring sections are formed. The housing has an effective area with two flat and curved opposite inclined surfaces. The free spring section is arranged in the area of the inclined surface and other free spring section is arranged in the area of another inclined surface. A flat ribbon cable (12) is arranged on a bearing section, which is formed as elevation or recess. An independent claim is included for a method for manufacturing an electrical contact connection by direct contact of a line connection.
