ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting to a flexible substrate which includes reinforcement for the surrounding areas of the pivot-supporting holes which support an operation lever and provides feedback to an operator when the operation lever is locked to the housing of the connector. A slider is directed by guides while the operation lever turns. When the slider is at a backward position, an insertion opening can be accessed for inserting a flexible substrate. When the slider is at a forward position, a press plate of the slider presses either one of the flexible substrate which has been inserted into the opening and the contacts provided in the housing to the other one. An electrical connection is established between the flexible substrate and the contacts. The operation lever is parallel to the slider in the forward position, and locks provided on a side surface opposite to the side surface with the insertion opening are locked to turn locks on the operation lever. The guides are fixed to the housing and are formed by bending a metal plate into a U shape. The pivot-supporting holes are formed individually on the guides.
