Patent ID: 7775827

Claim:
A flexible printed circuit board connector adapted for receiving a flexible printed circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing including two blocking walls disposed at two opposite sides thereof, each of the blocking walls defining a lateral side, the lateral side having a buckling cavity at a front end thereof and a first and second locating cavities at a rear end thereof, the buckling cavity including a first buckling cavity extending upwards and downwards, and a second buckling cavity extending frontward from a bottom side of the first buckling cavity, the second locating cavity located in front of and spaced from the first locating cavity; a plurality of terminals received in the insulating housing; and a cover for holding the flexible printed circuit board, the cover defining two lateral plates secured to the lateral sides of the blocking walls, each of the lateral plates having a locating portion and a buckling portion respectively protruded inward from a rear and a front of an inner side thereof, the locating portion capable of being pivotally mounted in the first locating cavity for allowing the buckling portion to be rotated to the bottom of the first buckling cavity, and then the locating portion and the buckling portion to be respectively moved frontward to the second locating cavity and the second buckling cavity by a frontward push force; wherein each of the lateral plates of the cover has a buckling element, the buckling element includes a connecting portion extending frontward and rearwards and spaced away from the lateral plate, and the buckling portion curved inwards from a distal end of the connecting portion to show an arc shape.
