<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector for a flat cable capable of facilitating assembly of the flat cable in an electronic apparatus having a small working space, allowing mechanization of the assembly, and capable of correctly connecting an electrode pattern of the flat cable to contact points of corresponding contacts. <P>SOLUTION: This connector for a flat cable is structured such that the flat cable 11 is connected to and separated from contacts 17 of a housing 14 by forward and backward movement of a slider 15. In the connector, the contact 17 is made by bending it into an S-shaped form, by flexurally forming a step continuing from a low horizontal part 45 in an intermediate part through a rising inclination part 46 to a high horizontal part 47, and by forming a downward V-shaped contact point 21 at a tip part extending frontward from this S-shaped spring part 44; and, on a wedge plate part 20 integrated with the slider 15, cable locking projections 29 for locking lock holes 49 of the flat cable 11 are formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
