Connector for flexible printed circuit board

A connector adapted for receiving a flexible printed circuit board therein, comprising:

• an insulating housing having a base board, two ends of a top surface of the base board protrude upward to form two separating boards parallel to each other and each of the separating boards having an inserting notch formed therein;
• a plurality of electric terminals disposed in the base board of the insulating housing between the separating boards for electrically contacting the flexible printed circuit board;
• a shell pivoted onto the insulating housing and having a top board, the top board protruding downward to form at least one connecting rib capable of electrically abutting against the flexible printed circuit board, two ends of the top board of the shell respectively define a window, two inner edges of the two windows extend oppositely and are bent downward to extend in face-to-face relationship to form a pair of fixing portions for clipping the flexible printed circuit board therebetween, when the shell is closed, the fixing portion is positioned in a corresponding inserting notch and the flexible printed circuit board is further located between the two separating boards;
• and
• at least two ground terminals disposed in the insulating housing adjacent to an outside of the corresponding separating boards, each ground terminal having a base portion fastened in the base board, a contacting portion and a soldering portion extending from two opposite ends of the base portion, respectively, the soldering portion stretching out of the base board for being soldered with an outer printed circuit board, the contacting portion stretching out of the top surface of the base board for being electrically against the top board of the shell when the shell is turned onto the insulating housing so as to transmit out electromagnetic interference generated between the electric terminals and the flexible printed circuit board by means of the shell and the ground terminal.
