Abstract:
1. A flat cable connector comprising: an insulated housing; and a plurality of conductor contacts regularly arranged in the insulated housing in which a plurality of conductive pads of a flat cable are respectively in contact with the plurality of contacts when the flat cable is inserted into the insulated housing, wherein each of the conductor contacts includes a stationary portion secured to the insulated housing and a movable portion integrally formed with the stationary portion, the movable portion is resiliently moved with respect to the stationary portion, an edge formed at an apex of the movable portion is defined as a contact point with the conductive pads of the flat cable when the conductive pads of the flat cable come into contact with the conductor contacts, and in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of conductor contacts are arranged, the stationary portion of the conductor contact is linearly extended and the movable portion defines a substantially V-shape including a first portion extended from the stationary portion and bent to one direction and a second portion bent to an opposite direction from the first portion, and the edge is defined at an apex of the substantially L-shape.
