Connector for conductor-path sheet, a connector assembly and a connector assembling method

摘要

A housing ( 21 ) is formed with an insertion path ( 24 ) for an FFC ( 10 ). Thick gel plates ( 45 ) are mounted on front and rear surfaces of the FFC ( 10 ) beforehand. The gel plates ( 45 ) are pushed into an entrance ( 25 ) to the insertion path ( 24 ) as the FFC ( 10 ) is inserted, thereby providing sealing at a place where an end portion of the FFC ( 10 ) is inserted into the entrance ( 25 ). The gel plates ( 45 ) adhere well even to corners of the FFC ( 10 ) to display a waterproof function. Therefore, the FFC ( 10 ) can be used at a place exposed to water.
