Claim:
An electrical connector for connecting with a sheet-like connection member, comprising: an insulative housing defining receiving cavity; a plurality of conductive terminals disposed in the housing and each terminal having a contact beam with a contact portion exposed to the receiving cavity; a pressing member having a pair of latching arms formed at lengthwise ends, the pressing member associated with the housing by the latching arms and movable between an opened position where the sheet-like connection member is permitted to enter into the receiving cavity and a closed position where the pressing member urges the sheet-like connection member to electrically connect with the contact portions of the terminals; and a pair of latching members assembled on the housing and each latching member comprising a resilient arm having a latching portion, when the pressing member arrives at the closed position, the latching arms urge corresponding resilient arms to move into the receiving cavity so as to achieve an engagement between the latching portions and the sheet-like connection member.
