ABSTRACT:
A connector capable of facilitating the insertion of a connected object, and obtaining a sufficient contact force. 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 contacts have respective seesaw-type beams having one ends thereof formed with portions for contact with FPC, and the other ends thereof formed with power point portions for receiving the turning force of the actuator. The actuator has pressing portions for pushing downward the power point portions when open, to thereby lift them to move the contact portions out of the space, and cam portions for pushing upward the same when closed, to thereby push them downward to cause the contact portions to enter the space.
