A surface mount connector for a flexible printed circuit board of low profile (low height) has contacts at a smaller pitch. A connector comprises an insulator (10), a plurality of contacts (20) aligned longitudinally of the insulator and a slider (30). The contacts are provided in the insulator with at least one end thereof and a portion of a central area thereof being exposed outward. The slider holds a flexible printed circuit board (40) between the slider and the insulator, longitudinal opposite ends of the slider are connected to opposite ends of the insulator and the contacts are electrically connected to a conductive pattern of the printed circuit board at positions corresponding to a node of the slider. <IMAGE> |
