Flat flexible cable connector

摘要

A flat flexible cable connector includes an insulative housing defining a receiving cavity for movably receiving an actuator. The housing defines a plurality of channels for receiving and retaining conductive contacts. Each contact has a fixed arm retained in the housing and a resilient arm extending into the space. The actuator has a tongue insertable into the receiving cavity. The tongue has a top face for retaining a leading end of a flat flexible cable whereby when the tongue is inserted into the cavity, the flat flexible cable engages with the resilient arms of the contacts. A plurality of spaced slots are defined in a bottom face of the tongue for guidingly receiving the fixed arms of the contacts thereby guiding the insertion of the actuator into the housing and eliminating transverse oscillation of the actuator.
