Electrical connector for flat cable

摘要

An electrical connector (1) is disclosed for connecting a flat cable (22). The connector includes a dielectric housing (2) mounting a plurality of conductive terminals (5). The housing (2) has a front end (2a) adapted for receiving the flat cable (22) in engagement with the terminals, a rear end (2b) and opposite sides (2c). An actuator (4) is pivotally mounted on the housing for pivotal movement between a first position allowing insertion of the flat cable (22) into engagement with the terminals (5) and a second position biasing the cable against the terminals. An independent engagement part (13) is mounted on the housing (2) and includes a pivot (14) about which the actuator is pivotable between said positions.
