Electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• an FFC (10) comprising a first insulating layer (11) including a plurality of internal flat conductors (110) each being elongated and having an exposed contact portion (12) at one end and an exposed soldering portion (13) at the other end;
• an electrical cable (30) comprising a plurality of conductors (33) each having a second insulating layer (34) therearound, the conductors (33) electrically connected to the soldering portions (13) of the FFC (10);
• a spacer (40) comprising a plurality of parallel grooves (41) on a top surface for clamping the second insulating layers (34) of the electrical cable (30);
• and
• a connector housing (50a) covering a rear portion (102) of the FFC (10) and a front end (301) of the electrical cable (30), the connector housing (50a) comprising a base (51) and a top shell (52) releasably secured to the base (51);
• wherein the base (51) comprises a top recess (54) for anchoring the spacer (40) therein;
• and
• wherein a front portion (101) of the FFC (10) is provided with a protective plastic plate (20) for fastening and supporting the contact portions (12) of the FFC (10) and the first insulating layer (11).

• a protective plastic plate (20) provided in front of the FFC (10) for fastening and supporting the contact portions (12) of the FFC (10) and the first insulating layer (11);
• an electrical cable (30) comprising a plurality of conductors (33) each having a second insulating layer (34) therearound, the conductors (33) electrically connected to the soldering portions (13) of the FFC (10);
• and
• a connector housing (50b) covering a rear portion (102) of the FFC (10) and a front end (301) of the electrical cable (30), the connector housing (50b) comprising a base (51) and a top shell (52) releasably secured to the base (51);
• wherein at least one projection (22) is formed on a rear portion (21) of the protective plastic plate (20), the base (51) comprises at least one first stop members (511) for limiting movement of projections (22) toward one direction.
