ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for use with flexible printed circuit (FPC) includes an elongated casing having an interior chamber defined by two side walls and a bottom and having a top opening. The chamber has a plurality of equally-spaced slots formed thereon to extend completely through the bottom of the casing and partially into the side walls to each receive therein a conductive terminal member which is in the form of a U shape, with the base of the U-shaped terminal member received within the bottom slot and the two arms of the U shape respectively received within side wall slots. Each of the arms has an inward projection formed on the free end thereof to contact and establish electrical engagement with the FPC. A driver member having a plate to be inserted into the chamber with a sufficient gap formed between the plate and the side walls of the chamber for receiving and retaining therein the FPC is provided to be rotatable and movable relative to the casing. The driver member is provided with two end cylinders to be respectively received and guided by chutes formed on two lengthwise ends of the casing for guiding the insertion of the driver member into the chamber. Releasable securing device is provided to secure the driver member, together with the FPC, within the chamber of the casing.
