Patent ID: 7993151

Claim:
A shielded insertion and connection structure of a flat cable connector, comprising a receiving housing and a hold-down member, the receiving housing forming a receiving compartment and two side walls formed at opposite ends of the receiving compartment, each of the side walls having a guide slot formed therein, a plurality of conductive terminals being received in the receiving compartment, the hold-down member having opposite ends that respectively form pivot structures that are respectively and slidably received in the guide slots in the side walls for pivotally coupling the hold-down member thereto, the receiving compartment of the receiving housing defining an insertion space, the hold-down member being operable to rotate with the pivot structures as a rotation center between an open position and a holding position and whereby when the hold-down member is operated, the pivot structures are allowed to slide along the guide slots of the receiving housing and also serve as to define the rotation center about which the hold-down member is rotatable between the open position and the holding position, a conduction section being formed by the hold-down member being made of metal and the receiving housing being at least partly made of metal with the guide slots being at least partly formed of metal, the conduction section being connected to at least one grounding terminal, whereby when the hold-down member is at the open position, an insertion end of a circuit adaptation board being insertable into the insertion space of the receiving compartment, the circuit adaptation board having a flat cable connection end opposite to the insertion end functioning to couple a circuit flat cable thereto, a cover film being applied through soldering or coating to securely bond the circuit flat cable to the circuit adaptation board, and the hold-down member has a depression and holding end that is operable to depress down and hold a surface of the circuit adaptation board and set the hold-down member at the holding position, wherein the hold-down member is put in electrical connection with the grounding terminal through the conduction section.
