Patent ID: 8408928

Claim:
A connector which receives a flexible board therein and transmits a signal from the flexible board to an external circuit board, the connector comprising: an actuator including: a body including a slit into which the flexible board is inserted in a first direction, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the slit; and a pivot at each of opposing ends of the body in the longitudinal direction, and defining a pivot axis, wherein the actuator rotates about the pivot axis, and the slit is opened to a front surface of the actuator; an outer cover within which the actuator rotates, wherein the outer cover supports rotation of the actuator; a supporter extending in the longitudinal direction and adjacent to the front surface of the actuator; and a plurality of contact terminals extending through the supporter and into the body of the actuator, and protruding into the slit, wherein the actuator receives the flexible board when at a first position, and each contact terminal makes contact with the flexible board when the actuator is at a second position different from the first position.
