ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (2) and a plurality of terminals (3) received in the housing. The housing has a front end with an opening for receiving an end of the FPC in engagement with contacting portions of the terminals, and a back end with a plurality of T-shaped protrusions (202), and a side end with two latching arms (21). An actuator (4) is pivotably mounted relative to the housing for floating movement between a first position allowing free insertion of the FPC into the opening and a second position biasing the FPC against the terminals. A shielding (5) is engaged with the back end and two latching arms of the housing for protecting the connector from Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) during transferring signals between the FPC and the PCB by the connector. The shielding can also reinforce the strength of the housing.
