ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) is provided for connecting a flexible printed circuit to a print circuit board. The connector comprises an insulative housing (22), a number of electrical contacts (24) received in the insulative housing, a pair of metal ears (26) inserted into opposite lateral sides of the insulative housing and an actuator (28) assembled on the insulative housing via pivotally engaging with the metal ears. Each metal ear has a main body, an elastic arm (262) and a latch arm (264) to define a hole (265) together and a claw (266) for locking the actuator in a close position. The actuator has a board (280) and a pair of turning shafts (282) projecting from lateral sides of the board. When the turning shafts received in the holes of the metal ears, stretch tails (263) of the elastic arms abut against the turning shafts to retain the actuator.
