ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector to be connected to a flat conductive member includes a housing including an upper wall and a lower wall; a terminal including a contact portion for contacting with the flat conductive member; and an engaging protrusion for engaging the flat conductive member. The housing further includes a receptacle portion between the upper wall and the lower wall for receiving the flat conductive member. The upper wall includes a cut portion. The engaging protrusion is situated under the cut portion, so that an edge portion of the flat conductive member moves over the engaging protrusion and deforms into the cut portion when the flat conductive member is inserted into the receptacle portion.
