Abstract
An electrical connector (100) for connecting a sheet-like connection member includes an insulating housing (1)provided with a plurality of conductive terminals (2, 3), defining a pair of slot (15) at opposite ends thereof. A pair of retaining members (4) is embedded in the slot (15), each comprises a retaining portion (44) retained in the slot (15), a bending portion (41) and a soldering portion (42) extending from a top edge and a bottom edge thereof respectively. The bending portion (41) and the solder portion (42) extend in an adverse direction and the bending portion is abutting against a top portion of the housing.
Claims2
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulating housing defining a receiving space;
- a plurality of conductive terminals disposed in the housing with contacting sections extending into the receiving space;
- an actuator pivotally movable relative to the housing to cancel or expose the receiving space between an open position and a closed position for allowing an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) to be efficiently engaged with the terminals;
- a pair of retaining members securely disposed at two opposite longitudinal ends of the housing, each of said retaining members including a soldering portion for securing to a printed circuit board on which the housing is seated, and an upwardly extending stopping portion which extends into a corresponding recess in an underside of the actuator when said actuator is located in said closed position.
