Electrical connector for FPC

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts and an actuator. The insulative housing defines a front opening and a back receiving space. The receiving space defines a horizontal plane and a vertical plane connecting each other. The contacts include retaining portions, contacting portions and pressing portions. Each contacting portion and corresponding pressing portion extends oppositely from the retained portion. The actuator includes a base portion and several separate costal parts extending from the base portion. Adjacent costal parts are connected by a shaft and the pressing portions are against to the shaft. The actuator rotates around the shaft and defines a cambered surface at the costal parts, the cambered surface slides between the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulative housing defining a front opening and a back receiving space, the receiving space defining a horizontal plane and a vertical plane connecting with each other; a plurality of contacts comprising retaining portions, contacting portions and pressing portions, each contacting portion and corresponding pressing portion extending oppositely from the retained portion; an actuator comprising a base portion and several separated costal parts extending from the base portion, adjacent costal parts being connected by a shaft and the pressing portions being assembled with the shaft; wherein the actuator rotates around the shaft and defines a cambered surface at the costal parts, the cambered surface slides between the horizontal plane and the vertical plane; wherein each costal part further defines a horizontal bottom surface and a front surface perpendicular to each other and smoothly connecting opposite ends of the cambered surface, when the actuator is at a vertical location, the front surface touches the vertical plane and the bottom surface touches the horizontal plane, the front surface and the bottom surface form the cambered surface.
