An electrical connector for a flat circuit includes a dielectric housing 1 defining a circuit-insertion slot 15. A plurality of terminals 24,28 are mounted on the housing and are spaced along the slot 15. The terminals have contact portions 9A,9B for engaging conductors spaced along the flat circuit. An actuator 3 is movably mounted on the housing for movement between an open position allowing insertion of the flat circuit into the slot 15 and a closed position biasing the circuit and its conductors against the contact portions 9A,9B of the terminals. Only some of the terminals comprise retention terminals 2A with portions for gripping the flat circuit and temporarily holding the circuit when the actuator is in its open position. Other of the terminals comprise non-retentive terminals 2B allowing substantially free insertion of the flat circuit into the slot 15.
