Abstract

An FFC-connection assembly includes an electrical component for a motor vehicle having an electrical tracing, at least one access window, a molded flange, and at least one hook. An FFC lies over the electrical tracing, mates the electrical tracing through the access window, and has a skived end at point of contact through the access window. The hook holds the FFC in place. The molded flange folds over onto the electrical component, is held down by a snap, and includes at least one depression rib so as to apply pressure against the FFC and the electrical tracing.
