Flat cable connector

摘要

A flat cable connector firmly holds a flat cable in the receptacle without complicating the construction of the connector. It reliably and precisely achieves the vertical and horizontal positioning of the flat cable with respect to the contact terminals of the receptacle. The flat cable connector comprises a roughly U-shaped locking body (10) removably attached to the ends of the flat cable and having a pair of side frames(11) each formed with a slit and with a locking projection(15) and a front frame(12) connecting the front ends of the paired side frames, and a receptacle(30) having engagement portions engaged by the locking projections (15), wherein the flat cable(1) is electrically connected to the receptacle(30) by inserting the flat cable attached with the locking body(10) into the receptacle (30).
