ABSTRACT:
The connector for a flexible board is equipped with a housing, a plurality of contacts, and a cover. The plurality of contacts are placed so that their contact parts are in two rows along opposing inner wall surfaces of an insertion concavity of the housing. By inserting a pressure-applying part of the cover into the insertion concavity, a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), which has been guided between the cover and the insertion concavity, is pushed in and deformed and held sandwiched between the cover and the insertion concavity, and each contact part of the FPC comes into contact with the contact part of the corresponding contact. The number of contacts capable of being housed within the connector is increased two-fold from that of prior art connectors and the number of contact parts in the flexible board is increased two-fold. Furthermore, operation of the connector is easier.
