Patent attributes
A connector adapted for receiving a flexible printed circuit board therein includes an insulating housing having a base board, a plurality of electric terminals disposed in the insulating housing and a shell slidably mounted onto the insulating housing. An end of the base board protrudes upward to form a preventing wall. A top of the preventing wall extends forward to form an elastic board. Each of the electric terminals has a base arm and an elastic arm. The base arm is disposed in the base board and the elastic arm is located under the elastic board. The flexible printed circuit board is inserted between the base arms and the elastic arms. The shell has a top board protruding downward to form at least one pressing portion slidably moving along the elastic board for pressing the elastic board downward so as to further press the elastic arms against the flexible printed circuit board.
