Disclosed is an electric connector for connecting a flat flexible cable to an electric circuit, which connector is capable of putting its contact tips in exact registration with corresponding stripped conductor ends, thereby guaranteeing the connector free of poor contact between the conductors of the cable and the corresponding terminals of the circuit. A flat cable to be used in combination with the connector has enlarged conductor contact areas alternately staggered with each other. The connector has forked terminal contacts each having a short or long front leg and a rear leg. The short-legged terminal contacts are designed to contact the enlarged conductor contact areas aligned in the forward transverse line whereas the long-legged terminal contacts are designed to contact the enlarged conductor contact areas aligned in the backward transverse line. |
