ABSTRACT:
A connector for a flat cable having a plurality of cable lines laid on a common plane in side-by-side fashion with each other, which comprises a housing having a hollow defined therein and opening outwardly at a front face. Top and bottom walls are formed with respective pluralities of first and second guide grooves both defined therein in communication with the hollow, and terminal members of generally h-shaped configuration equal in number to the number of any one of the first and second guide grooves and arranged in side-by-side fashion in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing. Each of the terminal members includes a contact finger having a contact protuberance formed integrally therewith, an anchoring finger extending generally parallel to the contact finger and connected at one end with one end of the contact finger remote from the contact protuberance, and a connecting finger. Each terminal member is accommodated within the housing with the contact and anchoring fingers firmly received within the respective first and second guide grooves while the contact protuberance protruding into the hollow. A lock-on insert is inserted into the hollow to allow the cable lines to be held in contact with the associated contact protuberances, after the flat cable has been inserted into the hollow.
