Abstract:
To provide a flat-conductor connector that implements, with a simple structure, a function of preventing a flat conductor from coming out thereof. A flat-conductor connector includes a housing including a holding portion into which a flat conductor is inserted to be electrically connected. The housing includes a deformation guiding portion that comes into contact with the flat conductor and that causes a side edge portion of the flat conductor to be curved and deformed in a thickness direction and a retaining engagement portion that is located on a far side of the deformation guiding portion in an insertion direction of the flat conductor and that engages an edge of a recess formed in the side edge portion of the flat conductor that has returned from a state of being curved and deformed to its original shape, in a direction in which the flat conductor is to be pulled.

Claim (Index 1):
A flat-conductor connector comprising:\n a housing that includes a holding portion into which a flat conductor is inserted such that the flat conductor is electrically connected to the flat-conductor connector, wherein the housing includes\n a deformation guiding portion that is brought into contact with the flat conductor, which is inserted into the holding portion, and that causes a side edge portion of the flat conductor to be curved and deformed in a plate-thickness direction of the flat conductor and \n a retaining engagement portion that is located on a far side of the deformation guiding portion in an insertion direction of the flat conductor and that engages an engagement portion included in the side edge portion of the flat conductor in a direction in which the flat conductor is to be pulled, the side edge portion having returned from the state of being curved and deformed to an original shape of the side edge portion.
