ABSTRACT:
A connector prevents insertion of a pressing member into a connector body when an object to be connected is not fully inserted into the connector body. Each lock portion is a non-elastic member. The thickness of a pressing piece of a pressing member is gradually reduced toward its tip end with a gap between each of the lock portions and a fixed piece portion as the maximum. When a flexible cable is not fully inserted into the connector body, the pressing member can not be inserted into the rear of the connector body, and the flexible cable is not electrically connected in an incomplete insertion state. Therefore, disengagement of the flexible cable from the connector body or contact failure caused by displacement between the flexible cable and an elastic piece of each of the terminals can be surely prevented.
