the two circuits 44 39 and 46 39 with two bends or crimps moreover terminal portions 56 39 and 58 39 are preferably misaligned in the direction of induced motion by between 0 005 0 010 inches to promote a stronger and longer wiping action it will be appreciated that while the embodiments of the present invention set forth in fig2 and 3 are shown utilizing two or two sets of alignment posts those embodiments may also use existing alignment posts such as are disclosed in the non wiping prior art fig1 in fact an important feature of the crimping solderless connector of the instant invention is the capability of using the same fixtures as the non wiping connector of fig1 i e one set of alignment posts rather than two in the embodiments of fig2 and 3 a special crimping tool will be necessitated to effect the bend or bends in the terminal portions of each flexible circuit which is to be connected a preferred alternative to necessitating such a special crimping step would be to provide the bending or crimping in the structure of the solderless connector itself embodiments of the present invention which would preclude the use of such a special crimping tool or crimping step are described in fig4 11 in fig4 a a solderless connector identified at 70 comprises a pair.
