Electrical connector for flat conductor

An electrical connector for flat conductor comprising:

• a housing, a plurality of terminals, a slider, and a movable member, wherein
• the housing is capable of inserting and pulling out a flat conductor in a longitudinal direction,
• the plurality of terminals is in an array in a lateral direction, and the plurality of terminals is held in the housing,
• the slider is attached to the housing such that the slider is movable in the longitudinal direction between a retreat position at which pull-out of the flat conductor is permitted and a forward position located on a front side from the retreat position, the forward position at which pull-out of the flat conductor is stopped,
• the movable member is attached to the housing such that the movable member is rotatable about an axis extending in the lateral direction between an open position forming an attitude having a predetermined angle to the longitudinal direction and a closed position forming an attitude along the longitudinal direction,
• the movable member has a cam part, and the cam part has a front-side pressing part and a rear-side pressing part,
• the front-side pressing part presses the slider toward a front side when the movable member rotates in a closing direction going to the closed position,
• the rear-side pressing part presses the slider to a rear side when the movable member rotates in an opening direction going to the open position, and
• a rotation center of the movable member is located in a range of the cam part in the longitudinal direction when viewed in the lateral direction.
