ABSTRACT:
A connector for a flat cable comprises a housing including a rectangular-shaped base portion defined by opposite first and second sides and opposite third and fourth sides and first and second side walls provided on the third and fourth sides. A plurality of first contacts each has a first contact convex and a first lead terminal. First contacts laterally extend from the first side toward the second side. First lead terminals project outward from the first side. First contact convex portions face upward and are provided at inner and top end portions of the first contacts. A plurality of second contacts are provided, each of which has a second contact convex and a second lead terminal. Second contacts laterally extend from the second side toward the first side. Second lead terminals project outward from the second side. Second contact convex portions face upward and are provided at inner and top end portions of the second contacts. Second contacts are discontinuously aligned at a second pitch. Each of the second contact convex portions are positioned between adjacent two of the first contact convex portions so that the first and second contact convex portions alternate with each other. A lever is further pivotally attached to the side walls of the housing. The lever has an engaging portion which is spaced over the first and second contact convex portions for sandwiching a flat cable between the engaging portion and the first and second contact convex portions.
