ABSTRACT:
Flat cable connector 10 having numerous flat-plate-form contacts 30 in an insulating housing 20. Each contact 30 has a first arm 33 and a second arm 34coextending forwardly from a base part 31 so that the two arms are substantially parallel to each other. A contact point 35 is formed proximate the free end of the first arm 33, and an engaging projection is formed on the free end of the second arm 34 that protrudes beyond the front surface 23 of the insulating housing 20 The end portion of the flat cable 50 inserted between the arms 33 and 34is pressed by pushing the tongue part 42 of the slider 40inward so that a contact pressure is applied between the contact points 35 and the conductors of the flat cable 50Furthermore, the slider 40 is fastened to the insulating housing 20 via the contacts 30 by the latching engagement of an engaging recess 47 with the engaging projections 36.
