Abstract

A connector adapted to be detachably connected to a flat electric cable having terminal members including contact portions and legs connected to the contact portions which are bent in such a manner that the end portions of the legs are staggered alternately in a zigzag manner forming two lines of legs. The end portions of the legs extend either in the axial or the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the connector. The legs may be made of equal length before bending and or bent preferably such that the ends of all of the legs flow substantially in the same plane.
