ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for mounting on a surface of a printed circuit board and for receiving a flat electrical circuit. The connector includes an elongated dielectric housing defining a slot for receiving the flat electrical circuit. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing, with contact portions spaced along the slot. A metal fixing member is mounted on the housing for securing the connector to an appropriate mounting pad on the printed circuit board. A metal actuator is mounted on the housing for movement between a first position allowing free insertion of the flat electrical circuit into the slot and a second position biasing the flat electrical circuit against the contact portions of the terminals. Complementary interengaging latches are provided between the metal fixing member and the metal actuator to define one or more of the positions of the actuator.
