Patent ID: 7980864

Claim:
A connector adapted for receiving a longitudinally inserted flexible printed circuit board therein, comprising: an insulating housing having a base board disposed levelly, two opposite ends of the base board protruding upward to form a pair of sidewalls extending longitudinally with a receiving recess formed therebetween for receiving the flexible printed circuit board; a plurality of electric terminals disposed in the insulating housing in a transverse row, each of the electric terminals having an elastic arm stretched into the receiving recess and suspended over the base board, the flexible printed circuit board being longitudinally inserted between the base board and the elastic arms for electrically connecting the electric terminals; and a pressing cover vertically movably mounted onto the insulating housing and having a base portion extending transversely to be spanned onto the two sidewalls, a portion of the base portion extending forward to form a pressing portion transversely spanned over the elastic arms of the electric terminals for pressing the elastic arms downward against the flexible printed circuit board when the pressing cover is pressed downward to be closed so as to make the flexible printed circuit board tightly clipped between the elastic arms and the base board.
