ABSTRACT:
A connector of upper contact type for an FPC comprising a cover housing constituted of synthetic resin alone. The housing includes first contacts and second contacts alternately arranged in parallel on a line. Each of the first contacts has an elastic arm coming into contact with an upper contact point of FPC when the cover housing is closed. On the other hand, each of the second contacts has a tuning-fork-shaped contact constituted of a pair of a short arm and a long arm, the short arm coming into contact with the upper contact point of the FPC so that the tuning-fork-shaped contact may exert a coupled force on the FPC when the cover housing is closed. With such a configuration, this connector reduces deformation of the cover housing while eliminating use of any reinforcing metal member in the cover housing.
