ABSTRACT:
A connector housing (1) has a row of cavities (4) bordering a slot (2) for receipt of a flat cable. Contacts (3) are mounted in the cavities with rearwardly inclined contact springs (7) penetrating the slot (2). An integrally hinged flap (11) on the housing is of L-section, with one limb (14) bordering the slot (2) and providing a cam surface (15) engaging the contact spring (7). Manual depression of the flap (11) deflects the contact spring (7) out of the slot (2) to permit low force insertion of the cable.
