Abstract of the Disclosure In a flexible circuit connector assembly a first circuit has exposed contacts which are positioned in register with the termination pads of another circuit by means of a connector which mechanically clamps the two circuits together. The connector includes a frame having an undersurface to which the first circuit is affixed. Locating posts project from that surface and are received in locating apertures in the second circuit to properly position the connector and the attached circuit relative to the second circuit. A generally c-shaped spring member engages around the frame with its arms extending beyond the locating posts and with its bridging segment extending more or less parallel to the frame reference surface. An actuator mounted to the frame is movable between a releasing position wherein it deflects the spring bridging segment toward the frame reference surface to spread apart the arm hooks so that they are aligned with the locating posts, thereby permitting those posts to be inserted into the circuit apertures. The actuator can also be moved from that position through an intermediate position which permits the spring to assume its relaxed condition whereupon the arm hooks draw together so that they engage under the circuit to a locking position wherein the actuator retracts the spring member and deflects its bridging segment upwardly away from the frame reference surface so that the arm hooks are urged toward one another and resiliently draw the connector tightly against the second circuit.
