Flexible board electrical connector

摘要

A flexible board electrical connector to be mounted on a board, such as a printed circuit board, which includes a housing (1) having an insertion opening; a plurality contact elements (3) disposed in the housing so that spring contact portions of the contact elements (3) are exposed in the insertion opening; a bearing portion (5A) provided on the contact elements; a pressure lever (7) rotatable on the bearing portion between an open position and a pressure position; and a pressure edge (30) provided on the pressure lever (27) so that when the pressure lever (27) is turned to the pressure position, the pressure edge (30) moves in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of a flexible board (F) and presses the flexible board (F) against the spring contact portions (24A), thus providing connections between the flexible board (F) and the contact elements (3). $$
