ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for terminating a flat electrical circuit which has a given width and an insertion end narrower than the given width to define at least one shoulder section at a side of the circuit. The connector includes a dielectric housing having opening for receiving the insertion end of the flat circuit in an insertion direction. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing at the opening. An actuator is movably mounted on the housing for movement between an open position allowing the insertion end of the flat circuit to be inserted into the opening, and a closed position to relatively bias the flat circuit against the terminals. A circuit-suppressing member projects outwardly of the housing opposite the insertion direction for engaging the shoulder section of the flat circuit to prevent the flat circuit from being bent upwardly against the actuator.
