Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for electrically connecting with a flexible circuit board comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating space with a bottom surface; a plurality of contact terminals assembled in the insulative housing, and each contact terminal including a contact engaging arm extending from the bottom surface into the mating space; an actuator pivotally assembled on the housing and capable of rotating between a first position, in which the mating space is accessible, and a second position, in which the actuator is substantially covering the mating space; and at least one grounding device attached to both ends of the insulative housing and comprising at least one grounding finger extending from the bottom surface into the mating space, and a cantilevered tab disposed above the bottom surface and opposite to the grounding finger in a vertical direction perpendicular to the bottom surface; wherein the insulative housing comprises a pressing arm at each of both ends thereof which extends forward in a cantilevered manner and located upon of the cantilevered tab of the grounding device; wherein the insulative housing comprises a supporting wall integrally forming with said both end of the insulative housing and a horizontal slot located between the supporting wall and the pressing arm for receiving the cantilevered tab therein; and wherein the cantilevered tab of the grounding device defines an inclined portion extending upwards at front end thereof.
