Patent ID: 7033208

Claim:
A flexible printed circuit connector comprising: a dielectric housing having a plurality of contact chambers extending through the dielectric housing; a bottom cover mounted on a bottom side of the dielectric housing to define a first receiving space therebetween for receiving a first flexible printed circuit; a top cover mounted on a top side of the dielectric housing to define a second receiving space therebetween for receiving a second flexible printed circuit; and a plurality of electrical contacts received in the respective contact chambers, each electrical contact having a pair of contact portions, one of which is exposed in the first receiving space to electrically connect the first flexible printed circuit, and the other of which is exposed in the second receiving space to electrically connect the second flexible printed circuit, wherein the housing has a projection extending downwardly from the front end thereof, and the bottom cover provides an indentation to accommodate the projection, thereby at least partially enclosing the front end of the first receiving space to stop and position the first flexible printed circuit.
