ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a printed circuit board (PCB) to an electrical device, comprising a lower insulator mounted on the electrical device and an upper insulator relatively movable to the lower insulator. The upper insulator has a groove for receiving a board edge of PCB and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) having an end adjacent to the groove and a elastic urging plate. The FPC extends through the lower insulator and connect ed to the electrical device. The elastic urging member is bent into a "V" shape and is brought into contact with an inclined surface formed on the lower insulator when the upper insulator is moved towards the lower insulator. Thus, the bent portion of the urging member pushes the end of FPC into the groove to establish contact connection of conductors of the FPC with pads on the PCB. Thus, connection and disconnection of PCB with the edge connector can be made without insertion and removal force against the contact force between the pads and the FPC.
