Abstract:
1. A connector clip adapted for holding a flat cable directly against a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising: a pair of vertical walls mounted on the PCB with a width same to the flat cable and a pair of horizontal walls extending inwards from the vertical walls to commonly define a receiving room to receive the flat cable with a front opening from which the flat cable is inserted; a pressing cover disposed between the pair of horizontal walls in a horizontal plane, the pressing cover slanting upwards to the front opening and having a pair of locking tabs bending to the front opening; wherein the pressing cover is moved into the receiving room to press against the flat cable and the locking tabs interlock with the horizontal walls to block the pressing cover from moving away from the receiving room so that the flat cable is fitly retained in the receiving room; wherein the pressing cover has a press portion substantial at a middle portion thereof, which bends further in the receiving room than other portion thereof; wherein a front edge of the pressing cover is located above the horizontal walls in a free stature of pressing cover and the pressing portion spaces from the PCB with a distance larger than the flat cable.
