ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (2) for receiving a sheet-like connection member, a plurality of electrical contacts (4) received in the housing, and an operation member (3) mounted onto the housing. The housing has a lower wall (24) and an upper wall (22) opposite to the lower wall. The upper wall forms a plurality of second ribs on a bottom thereof. Each second rib forms a curved end (226) exposed outwardly from an edge (222) of the upper wall. The operation member forms an elongate pressing portion (324) at a bottom thereof, and a channel (322) defined in a main face thereof opposite from the pressing portion. The operation member is rotatable from an open position to a closed position, with the channel pivoting about the curved ends of the first ribs of the housing, thereby pressing the connection member upon the contact arms of the contacts.
