<p>The object of the present invention is to provide a solderless connector which permits the exact positioning of a flat, flexible cable in its housing. An electric connector (3) comprising a housing (4) having a resilient contact piece (5) integrally connected therewith, permitting insertion of a flat, flexible cable (2) to put the conductor surface (2A) of said flat, flexible cable (2) in registration with selected part of the circuit pattern (1A) on a printed circuit board (1), said resilient contact piece (5) being adapted to push the conductor surface (2A) of said flat, flexible cable (2) against said selected part of the circuit pattern (1A), is characterized in that said housing (4) has a groove (11) made on its front portion, thereby accommodating the leading edge of said flat, flexible cable (2) when inserted in said housing (4), and that said housing (4) has a lock piece (12) integrally connected to the vicinity of a cable slot (8), thereby causing said lock piece (12) to be yieldingly bent, pushing the rear side (2c) of said flat, flexible cable (2) when said housing (4) is fixed to said printed circuit board (1) with the aid of associated pins (10). <IMAGE></p> |
