Abstract
Disclosed herein is a connector for contacting a flexible cable with a printed circuit board (hereinafter “PCB”) that enables the connector to contact the flexible cable directly to the PCB without using a terminal as a medium. The connector includes a housing that is fixed to a PCB and forms an insertion space between it and the PCB, whereinto a flexible cable is inserted; and an actuator mounted rotatably on the housing that pushes downward on the top of the flexible cable inserted into the insertion space so as to put the conductor part of the flexible cable in direct contact with the conductor part of the top of the PCB.
