Electrical connector for flat cable

摘要

An electrical connector (1) for flat cable which removably connects a flat cable (7) at its end. A housing (4) defines an insertion space (2) for insertion of the end of the flat cable (7) in a predetermined direction (Y). A retainer (6) is connected to the housing (1) and is allowed to slide substantially along the predetermined direction (Y). A reinforcement member (14) made of metal is fixed to the housing (4). The reinforcement member (14) inhibits the removal of the retainer (6) from the housing (4).
