Claim:
A connector adapted for receiving a flexible printed circuit board therein, comprising: an insulating housing having a flat base board; a plurality of electric terminals disposed in the base board of the insulating housing for electrically contacting the flexible printed circuit board; and a shell pivotally and slidably mounted to the insulating housing and having a base plate, a transverse rear edge of the base plate extending downward to form a preventing board, a bottom portion of an edge of the preventing board away from the base plate being extended and bent frontwardly to form a hook portion facing the base plate, the shell being turned frontward and towards the base board to be covered onto the insulating housing to make the flexible printed circuit board located between the insulating housing and the shell, then the shell being frontward pushed such that a locking portion thereof is hooked to the base board so as to generate a downward pull force to the base plate of the shell.
