Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit connector capable of resisting against lateral pressure, comprising:(a) an insulating base seat having a plurality of terminals disposed thereon; (b) two pivot members, first ends of the pivot members being respectively inserted in two sides of the insulating base seat, each pivot member being further formed with a stop plate near a second end of the pivot member, the stop plate abutting against a lateral wall of the insulating base seat; and, (c) a pressing cover board pivotally connected with the pivot members for correspondingly covering the insulating base seat and tightly pressing a flexible printed circuit to electrically connect with the terminals of the insulating base seat, an outer wall of each pivot member being formed with a pivot hole near the first end thereof to form a first pivot section for pivotally connecting with the pressing cover board, each pivot member being further formed with an outward extending stop section near the first end thereof, the stop section serving to limit an upward pivoting of the pressing cover board, whereby upward pivoting of the pressing cover board is stopped by the pressing cover board making contact with the stop section.
