Connector for flat cables

摘要

A connector for flat cables 10 comprises basically an insulating housing 20 and contacts 30. The housing 20 has a slot 26 for the insertion of the flat cable 50 and a number of passages 25 for insertion of contacts in communication with the above mentioned slot. The contacts 30 are preferably stamped from a sheet metal material in the form of a V-shape with one end having a soldering tab 38 and the other end having an actuator 36. The actuators 36 are operated by a special bar, thus allowing to insert or to remove the flat cable 50 using very little effort.
