Patent ID: 7862370

Claim:
A connector for connecting a flexible circuit board comprising: a housing; said flexible circuit board which provides for electric connection with said connector and two sides of which are formed respectively with a latching part; a terminal which is provided with a movable arm and a fixed arm, with both said arms being parallelly extended toward a same direction, wherein an end of said movable arm is provided with a pushing part and another end of said movable arm is provided with a pushed part, said fixed arm being fixed by said housing and being formed with a snap part close to said pushing part, said movable arm and said fixed arm being formed as one unit by a connection part; a pressing element which is provided with an abutting part which is able to push said pushed part; wherein when said flexible circuit board is to be electrically connected with said connector, said flexible circuit board is inserted into said housing, and then said pressing element is acted upon by a displacement operation to displace toward a pre-determined direction, and said abutting part of said pressing element will push said pushed part of said movable arm of said terminal thereby allowing said movable arm to make an angular displacement using said connection part as a pivot, which further enables said flexible circuit board to displace downward, such that said snap part of said fixed arm is engaged with said latching part of said flexible circuit board.
