Flat conductor electric connector

A flat conductor electric connector to which a flat conductor extending in a front-back direction is connected, comprising:

• a housing into which the flat conductor is inserted forward;
• multiple terminals arrayed and held on the housing with a direction at a right angle to both the front-back direction and a thickness direction of the flat conductor as a terminal array direction;
• a metal fitting arranged outside a terminal array area in the terminal array direction and held on the housing;
• and
• a movable member movable between a closed position and an open position while turning about a turning axis extending in the terminal array direction,
• wherein the movable member has a locking portion, and removal of the flat conductor is blocked by contact of the locking portion when the movable member is at the closed position and is allowed by release of the locking portion when the movable member is at the open position,
• the metal fitting has a body portion positioned adjacent to the movable member in the terminal array direction and having a plate surface at a right angle to the terminal array direction, and a biasing portion positioned on one side of the movable member in the thickness direction of the flat conductor and biasing the movable member,
• the body portion has a movable arm portion extending in the front-back direction and elastically deformable in the thickness direction of the flat conductor, and
• the biasing portion extends from the movable arm portion toward the movable member in the terminal array direction, and at a plate surface of the biasing portion, biases the movable member from the one side.
