ABSTRACT:
To provide a connector that includes a locking section having a high strength, and is excellent in shielding performance. Contacts are held by a housing including a receiving space into which is inserted FPC. An actuator is mounted in the housing in a manner pivotally movable between open position for inserting FPC into the space, and closed position for holding FPC therein. The housing is covered with a shield plate. The shield plate includes a contact portion for contact with a ground line of FPC, a terminal portion for contact with a printed circuit board, and a seesaw-type locking section for preventing FPC from being removed. A nail portion is formed at one end of the locking section, for engagement with FPC, and a power point portion on which a pivotal force of the actuator acts is formed at the other end. The actuator is provided with a third cam portion which is operable when the actuator is in closed position, to move the power point portion such that the nail portion comes closer to FPC.
