Patent ID: 6855002

Claim:
A flat flexible circuit board connector for connecting with a flexible circuit board comprising: a) a concave body having: i) a base having a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channels having an embedding rib having a front portion and a rear portion; ii) two side flanges located on opposing sides of the base; and iii) a receiving surface extending from a rear thereof; b) a movable lid pivotally connected to a plurality of first terminals and movable between open and closed positions, the movable lid having: i) a board engaging the two side flanges when the lid is in the closed position; and ii) a plurality of terminal grooves; each of the plurality of terminal grooves having a protruding axis; c) the plurality of first terminals, each of the plurality of first terminals having: i) an upper pin having a front portion and a rear portion; ii) a lower pin having a front portion and a rear portion; iii) an embedding pin connected to the rear portion of the lower pin; iv) an inserting gap located between the front portion of the upper pin and the front portion of the lower pin, the flexible circuit board is inserted into the inserting gap of each of the plurality of first terminals; v) a pivotal gap located between the rear portion of the upper pin and the rear portion of the lower pin, the protruding axis of one of the plurality of terminal grooves is inserted into the pivotal gap of each of the plurality of first terminals, wherein, when the movable lid is in the closed position, the protruding axis pressing against the rear portion of the upper pin of each of the plurality of first terminals and pressing the front portion of the upper pin of each of the plurality of first terminals against the flexible circuit board, and vi) a bottom gap located between the rear portion of the lower pin and the embedding pin, the rear portion of one of the plurality of channels of the concave body is inserted into the bottom gap of each of the plurality of first terminals; and d) a plurality of second terminals connected to the flexible circuit board, each of the plurality of second terminals having a gap into which the front portion of one of the plurality of channels of the concave body is inserted; wherein the rear portion of the upper pin of each of the plurality of first terminals includes a bent portion.
