Connector in which a FPC is tightly held between a housing and a movable actuator when being connected to the connector

摘要

In a connector for use in connecting a FPC having a plurality of pads, a plurality of contacts (16,17) are held by a housing (15) and become in contact with the pads, respectively. The FPC is tightly held between the housing and an actuator (18) which has a pivot portion (18c) pivotally held to the housing and a locking portion (18e) making engagement with the housing in a state of tightly holding the FPC. The locking portion is spaced from the pivot portion with a first distance. The first distance is determined greater than a second distance which is determined between the pivot portion and a distal edge (18d) of the actuator.
